ToAcK 


Is to accomplish by 
perseverance something- 
worth while, something creditable, 
something that places one above the 
masses. To 

Study Law at Home 

and complete the course is to achieve a real distinction — 
for to know the law is to be qualified for a dignified and 
paying profession. Education in this important field is 
within the reach of any one. It is not confined to the few 
who can attend institutions requiring actual presence, at 
large expenditure of time and money. We offer to the poor 
man, the busy man, the ambitious man debarred of school 
privileges, a course of home study comprehensive and prac¬ 
tical, that actually fits for the practice of the law. It is no 
makeshift. It is the result of eleven years’ labor in perfect¬ 
ing a plan suited to modern conditions. Thousands of tes¬ 
timonials bear out our assertion that this school educates in 
the law. It takes spare time only. It gives the student, 
whatever his employment, a chance to get a legal education 
at small expense and without interference with his daily 
duties. We are the original correspondence school. We offer 
three courses: Preparatory, Business Eaw, regular College 
Course fitting for practice. Drop us a postal for full par¬ 
ticulars. Sent free. Special reason for beginning now.

A COLONNADE BETWEEN THE T1 .MI’LL 1)1 MUSIC AND THE TRANSPORTATION BUILDING. 

NOTES ON THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION. 


By Robert Grant. 


C OMPARISONS are odious, and at the 
same time often inevitable. Here we 
have a case in point. The free-born Amer¬ 
ican who was so fortunate as to visit 
Chicago in the year of its White City inevi¬ 
tably asks himself first of all, as he contem¬ 
plates the glories of the Pan-American, 
“How does this compare with our great 
Exposition?” 

Moreover, the comparison is forced upon 
him by what he sees. He sees the same 
general scheme of department buildings; a 


brilliant, imposing city towering in staff as 
by the touch of a necromancer’s wand; a 
kindred profusion of boldly imagined and 
freely executed groups of statuary; an an¬ 
alogous system of waterways; the same old 
Midway with a few novel features; in 
short, a practical reproduction of what ap¬ 
peared at Chicago—different and yet still 
the same. The White City with its Court 
of Honor was an astounding novelty. 
Many of us went there hopeful yet calm, 
and scarcely expecting to lie thrilled.

photographer of the Exposition, and are copyrighted by him.

NOTES ON 77/E PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION. 


What we beheld amazed us, made us 
prouder than ever of our country, and 
opened our eyes to the great power and 
versatility of the nation. If our heads 
swam and we reveled in superlatives, there 
was a legitimate excuse for it. But the 
Yankee brain is not apt to swim twice from 
the same intoxicant. Nor will the free¬ 
born American, entitled to his own opinion, 
be restrained from saying, “1 have seen 
something like this before," by the pious 
thought that the citizens of ButTalo have 
raised by popular subscription and ex¬ 
pended for the gratification of the people 


behind by the sojourner at its Fair 
Whatever the illusion may have been tit 
Chicago, certainly one does not forget here 
that an exhibition of this sort is not solely 
a glorification of art and the humanities 
for their own sake, but is a business prop¬ 
osition as well, and a grand advertising 
scheme for the display of the inventions, 
manufactures and industrial enterprises 
of the Republic. This is an inevitable 
and legitimate purpose of till expositions, 
but the visitor will forget the fact if the 
enchantment be complete. At Buffalo the 
spell cast does not suffice to allure the >a

of the United States one million seven 
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, a sum 
supplemented by the donation of half a 
million from Congress. 

Indeed, as one surveys with pleased eyes 
the architecture which the guide-book 
tersely terms “a free treatment of the 
Spanish Renaissance, a compliment to the 
Latin-American countries who are promi¬ 
nent exhibitors," the sardonic thought 
may intrude that Buffalo can scarcely have 
intended to make so large a gift to the 
American public without hope of return, 
both in glory and in current cash left 


gacious into buying a box of stain-remov¬ 
ing soap made from the bark of South 
American trees, or to patronize the ubhp.i 
tous purveyors of optic lenses, who for some 
reason are much in evidence in the build¬ 
ings. That i-, in the daytime. At night 
one might be tempted to buy ans thing. 

For instance, two friends of mine, cult¬ 
ured and rationally critical men from 
Boston, had a narrow escape from missing 
the distinctive and monumental feature of 
the Exposition. The beginning of the 
second week of .lune, when 1 happened to 
be there, was far from balmv. The wind

was sharp and overcoats were indispensable. 
The atmosphere rendered all but the very 
youthful indifferent to the charm of gon- 
dolas and open-air concerts. Returning at 
night to my hostelry at Niagara, I came 
upon my two Bostonians, warming their 
toes over a sea-coal lire. It appeared they 
were on their way West and had stopped 
over to see the Pan-American. They had 
seen it and were disappointed. It was 
well enough in its way, they said, but— 
an echo of Chicago without its fascination, 
and they had been nearly frozen into the 
bargain. Two hours had been sufficient 


“But," said I to my friends, “have you 
not seen the illumination?” They shook 
their heads. Thereupon I took upon my¬ 
self to assure them that if they departed 
without seeing it they would be guilty of 
a cruel wrong to themselves, and that the 
spectacle was worth a voyage across the 
Atlantic. They regarded me skeptically, 
but they consented to go with me on the 
following evening. It was Sunday, and 
the atmosphere had softened and mellowed. 
There was no wind and the sky was without 
a cloud — a genuine June twilight. I piloted 
them along the Court of Fountains until we

for them, after a night in the sleeping-c tr, 
and they had sought solace in the grandeur 
of Niagara's falls and gorge, which had 
restored their faith in the eternal fitness of 
things. Parenthetically it may be sug¬ 
gested that there was a certain audacity on 
the part of the projectors of the Fair in 
setting up their plaster city in such prox¬ 
imity to one of the real beauties of the 
world. Vet there was method too in their 
madness, for it is but a step for brides 
from Boat Bland to the Court of Fountains 
and the Sunken Cardens of the Pan-Amer¬ 
ican. 


were at the southerly end of the basin. 
There we stood and waited with a throng 
of other watchers, looking back at the Elec¬ 
tric Tower. The description of what fol¬ 
lowed will be trite enough to those who 
have seen it for themselves: yet who that 
seeks to specify the crowning and original 
feature of this Exposition will be able to 
pass over this unique sight? 

The time fixed for the ceremony of 
illumination is half-past eight, just as the 
summer twilight is deepening into darkness. 
A few moments before the appointed hour, 
one perceives the bulbs of electric light

along the paths and in the buildings di¬ 
minish in intensity until they become mere 
tiny specks of flame which fade away. 
There is a deep silence, and all eyes are 
riveted on the Electric Tower. Suddenly, 
in the splendid vertical panel with four 
brooches which decorates its center, there 
is a faint glow of light like the first flush 
of sunrise from behind a mountain-peak. 
It mounts and spreads, at first gradually, 
with dignified celerity, then with a swifter 
effulgent pervasiveness until the entire ter¬ 
ritory of the Fair has been metamorphosed 
into a gorgeous vision of dazzling towers, 
minarets and scintillating gardens. The 
Spanish Ilenaissance scheme of color is 
gone, and in its stead we have a veritable 
fairy-land; the triumph not of Aladdin's 
lamp, but of the masters of modern science 
over the nature-god, Electricity. 

My two friends from Boston acknowl¬ 
edged utterly the spell of the occasion. 
There was no gainsaying the beauty and 
genius of the display. Behind the gleam¬ 
ing expanse of myriad jets of marshaled 
flame hung the clear, cloudless sky, a 
transporting background of lucent ultra¬ 
marine, suggesting one of Dante's gleaming 
heavens. And as we gazed and sauntered 


musing, we overheard this pretty dialogue: 
An elderly couple passed us, and the hus¬ 
band murmured, "If we were to live an¬ 
other twenty-five years, what shouldn't we 
see?" Iler gentle reply was, "You trill 
see something very like this the golden 
city!" Apt phraseology and an exhaustive 
popular tribute. Certainly the Fan-Amer¬ 
ican is well worth visiting, if only for this 
sensation. 

On the 7th of .June, and subsequent davs 
when 1 visited the Fair, the exhibition 
was substantially ready for inspection, but 
wore in many spots the air of a hasty and 
incomplete toilet. The State Buildings 
were almost universally in the early stages 
of erection; the Fine Arts exhibit was not 
yet open; few of the restaurants were in 
active operation; a number of the attrac¬ 
tions of the Midway were still incomplete; 
and even in the main buildings the Eib- 
eral Arts. Electricity, Machinery anil Agri 
culture-—though the principal exhibits were 
in order, there were evidences on every 
side of tardiness in equipment, and many 
booths were in a state of confusion. Per¬ 
haps discrepancies in punctuality are un¬ 
avoidable, and it is too much to demand of 
human imperfection that an exhibition ad-

vertised to be complete on a certain date 
should he finished thirty days later. 

However this may he, the visitor at this 
period found an agreeable exception in ihe 
admirable display at the Government Build¬ 
ing. Here everything was in apple-pie 
order. Intelligence, system and a keen 
appreciation of the opportunities of the oc¬ 
casion had evidently combined to produce 
an altogether interesting collection of 


Americana. No person, young or old, 
could fail to be instructed and entertained 
by the diversified exhibit which the gov¬ 
ernment officials have set forth with due 
allowance for space and an eye for proper 
effect. There is no crowding, no supera¬ 
bundance of material. The clean and well- 
devised presentation of fish in the aquarium 
is a pleasure to the eye. from the sturgeon 
hobnobbing with the seal in the large tank

to the group of frail but aristocratic look¬ 
ing albino trout. Among so much that 
was worth attention, I recall the carefully 
planned groups of American tribes in native 
costumes, with their implements; the com¬ 
prehensive display of army and navy cos¬ 
tumes from 1775 to the present day; the 
exhibit of ordnance and modern naval ap¬ 
paratus; tlie choice selection of interesting 
relics from the Smithsonian Institute; and 
the reduced facsimiles, offered by the 
Patent Office, of the McCormick reaper, 
showing its evolution from the primitive 
machine of fifty years ago to the compli¬ 
cated engine of twentieth-century agricult¬ 
ure. Every department of the govern- 


house this accumulation within a small coin- 
pass of the results of American inventive 
and engineering skill must be to the stu¬ 
dent in search of practical demonstration 
and to the specialist who knows what he 
desires to see or examine! I am so consti¬ 
tuted. unfortunately, that the details of 
machinery produce no more impression on 
my optic nerves than water produces on a 
duck's back; but 1 am in my ignorance, 
nevertheless, a genuine worshiper of the 
genius that can generate the marvelous 
mechanical devices which revolutionize the 
industrial processes of the world. Such a 
fine exhibit as the array of huge, grasshop¬ 
per-like implements in the Machinery Build-

ment was adequately represented, and in a 
manner to educate and inspire the great 
public. 

Probably, to eight persons out of every 
ten the effect of visiting a series of large 
buildings bristling with machinery and 
the products of the industrial arts is con¬ 
fusing, not to say paralyzing to the brain. 
Pew if any of us can hope by a gentlemanly 
tour of three days through a great exhibi¬ 
tion to carry away accurate knowledge con¬ 
cerning the scientific and mechanical appa 
ratus which we behold. The eye becomes 
tired and the imagination sated by the 
plethora of cogs and blades, wheels anil 
dynamos. There are spoils when we are 
indisputably bored. But what a treasure-

Westinghouse Companies in the Electricity 
Building, and that of the Calumet & lb Ha 
Company in the Mines Building, siirs <>ur 
pulses with pride, even if we gape at it 
with unenlightened eves. 

In the matter of the every-day industrial 
arts I suppose that we are all self-consti- 
tuted judges of what is edifying and beau 
tiful. In the course of my earthly pil¬ 
grimage I have been to many food fairs 
and to many mammoth bazaars where di» 
mestic manufactures, fancy dry goods and 
glittering small ware were set forth as hen- 
in continuous, bewildering booths. No 
one will deny that the exhibit in the In¬ 
dustrial Arts Building is representative,

comprehensive and highly creditable to the 
brains, energy and ingenuity of the nation. 
Who can be offended by such a patriotic 
declaration us this? Yet there is not much 
that is new or absorbing in this collection 
to any one who has kept pace with metro¬ 
politan shopping and read the advertising 
supplements of the magazines. This, of 
course, is merely a comparative criticism. 
There will be thousands of people not con¬ 
versant with cities, and whose opportuni¬ 
ties to travel are limited, to whom these 
variegated booths must be both a delight 
and a means of education. But I should 


or cajoling. I am free to confess that I 
am not susceptible to souvenirs of this class. 
Indeed, the passion for souvenir spoons in 
which some amiable people indulge as an 
esthetic diversion appears to me closely 
allied to the mental condition which pro¬ 
tests against the nude in art. But there 
have been expositions where the popular 
fancy was arrested by keepsakes which 
were diverting and clever, if not artistic. 
At the Pan-American everything of the 
sort which I saw was hideous, and the 
souvenir card which I posted to an infant 
son was a cruel daub of the Electric Tower,

not advise the traveled and sophisticated 
bridegroom to cut short his honeymoon at 
sublime Xiagara in order to make time for 
a conscientious examination of the many 
foods, fabrics, Yankee notions and minor 
trinkets spread for inspection in this large 
building. Bet me add that I do not wish 
to appear unappreciative of the respecta¬ 
bility of the exhibit, but merely to suggest 
that it ditl not for me possess the charm of 
novelty or special distinction. Nor will 
the bride, it seemed to me, find the so- 
called souvenirs of Buffalo’s glory — “some¬ 
thing to remember the Fair by" — original 


suggesting a gaudy lighthouse struck bv 
streaks of lightning. 

The architectural color-scheme of the 
Fair is one of those ticklish subjects con¬ 
cerning which there are sure to be diverse 
and conflicting opinions. It is certainly 
striking and positive. Colloquially speak¬ 
ing, the color is all there, and there is 
plenty of it. One seems to be walking 
through a park of South American palaces. 
Possibly it is the mental effect of being in 
South America which restrains the soul 
from complete enthusiasm, for we are not 
accustomed to think of South America in

superlatives. The architects and artists 
had constantly upon them as a nightmare 
the perfection of Chicago, and the problem 
of how to make another White City which 
should be the same and yet distinctive— 
should be entrancing without being white. 

The South American City with its splurge 
of Spanish Renaissance is dignified without 
being tawdry; is picturesque and interest¬ 
ing. But — for. like my fellow-citizens 
from Boston, I find a “but"—there is no 
temptation to the spectator to gasp and 
clap the hands. Naturally the buildings 
are of different degrees of merit, but the 
color-scheme is so predominant that in 
spite of varia¬ 
tions of shape 
they produce at 
first the effect 
of looking all 
alike, just as 
the Chinese do 
until we are ac- 
customed to 
them. Among 
the orgie of 
color there is 
nothing more 
individual than 
the command¬ 
ing Electric 
Tower itself, 
with its garish 
but highly ef¬ 
fective treat¬ 
ment in white, 
blue and gola 
and its cascade 

bursting from a the age ok kngightk.nmi nt

bhng into the basin below. 

Whatever one's opinion as to the com¬ 
parative value of the architecture, all will 
agree that the dedications, or apostrophes 
on the several main buildings were com¬ 
posed with a fine discretion. Their senti¬ 
ments are appropriate and stimulating, their 
diction is euphonious yet simple. 

As in tlie case of the architecture, it 
seemed to me that the statuary, though the 
work was often spirited and assertive 
was less fine as a rule and as a whole than 
what appeared at Chicago. It struck me 
that the free-hand treatment in the minor 
pieces betrayed at times a lack of finish 


which came perilously near being slovenly 
But every visitor will admire without reV- 
er vat ion the splendid equestrian figures 
which mark tin- entrance t<. the main court 
on tin* southerly side, abutting the termina¬ 
tion <*f tin 1 bridge which leads from the 
Park. Are they not masterly, stately ami 
ornamental? 

It should be added that criticism of the 
esthetic attractions of the Pan-American is 
invidious for the reason that Chicago h U s 
given us so stern a standard of comparison 
that there is danger of seeming unappreci¬ 
ative of the work of tin- imaginative and 
public-spirited men whose contributions as 

a whole afford 
an inspiring 
spectacle to a 
grateful public. 
But I doubt,

if t lie South

slill to come. A glance at the guide-book 
reveals that over one hundred annual con¬ 
ventions are scheduled to be held in Buffalo 
before the 1st of November, and this list, 
drawn from at random, includes bodies 
as dissimilar in character as the Western 
Dancing-Teachers" Association, the Layers' 
Union of North America, the International 
Cremation Congress, tint IIoo-IIoo National 
Concatenation and the New York Sabbath 
Association. It seems to be assured that 
there will be “strenuous" times at Buffalo 
as a consequence. And, barring the con¬ 
sideration of heat, what a stirring and 
agreeable method of spending a holiday 
week this trip will be to the tired workers 
of the country—to whom we all belong! 

Diversion for the visiting multitudes is 
provided according to their tastes by the 
Stadium, by band concerts, by organ re¬ 
citals in the Temple of Music and by the 
irrepressible and somewhat irresponsible 
Midway. At the Stadium—or combination 
ball-field and sporting-track, in elaboration 
of that at Athens (and of course larger)— 
the “continuous carnival" of events ar¬ 
ranged for had already begun. Base-ball

games, bicycle races, lacrosse matches, 
canoe meets, basket-ball championships, 
track athletic contests and firemen's tour¬ 
naments will succeed one another with bus¬ 
iness-like variety. There are diverse open- 
air band-stands at which one may hear good, 
indifferent or distressing music according 
to the quality of the band which one hap¬ 
pens to draw in the daily band lottery, for 
the visiting bands, like the visiting organ- 
izations, have their special days. I was 
not invariably fortunate. I remember listen¬ 
ing to one in the forenoon in the Temple 
of Music, the noise of which was a happy 
accompaniment to the decoration of that 
bilious-looking edifice. But the great 
organ in the Temple of Music is a superb 
instrument, though, as I was told, it was 
temporarily not quite in tune. On several 
occasions I sought a respite here from the 
fatigue of sight-seeing and joined the ap¬ 
preciative music-lovers and the fugitives 
from the keen Buffalo wind, who together 
made a considerable audience for the sol¬ 
itary performer. The acoustics of the 
building seemed to me excellent, and in 
the topmost row of the gallery the tones

of the organ came to me full and clear. 

The center of diversion, of course, is the 
Midway, which even in its name is directly 
reminiscent of Chicago, and which is the 
same old grotesque but alluring combi 
nation of circus, ethnological bazaar and 
variety-show. At an ordinary circus, even 
the mature are apt to eat popcorn and 
drink pink lemonade as a rebuff to their 
own solemnity, and to a greater degree in

THE HEAL VALUE OF THE EXPOSITION. 

By Albert Shaw. 


I T would not be easy to overestimate the 
educational value of the objects of 
beauty and of historical interest that have 
accumulated in such European towns its 
have had centuries of a noble and distin¬ 
guished life of their own. In such cities 
one finds monumental architecture, gal¬ 
leries of paintings and sculpture, museums 
filled with treasures of other days, and 
many things besides that stir the imagina¬ 
tion, stimulate a thirst for knowledge and 
awaken and educate the esthetic faculties. 
It is obvious enough that the modern com¬ 
mercial town lacks many of the advantages 
of the town with an ancient and important 
record. Hut we have also learned that the 
new city may wholly transform its own 
character and greatly enlarge the oppor¬ 
tunities of its citizens by a display of high 
ambition and well-directed energy. We 


know what wonderful things Florence and 
Venice did in their time, with results that 
have contributed ever since to the progress 
and happiness of the world. We have 
been living through a new period, particu¬ 
larly in Germany and England, in which 
there have been exhibited in a large num¬ 
ber of towns a fine civic spirit and a notable 
capacity for collective action to the end of 
improving all the conditions of local exist¬ 
ence. It is the sanitarian and the engineer, 
to be sure, rather than the artist and the 
architect, who are the leaders in this civic 
renaissance; but the esthetic spirit is by 
no means absent. The idea is now current 
that the modern town that respects itself 
and cares anything at all for its future can 
afford to have good schools, streets, water, 
light, public buildings and parks, and at 
least a public library if not a picture gal-

lery. Much of the marvelous beauty and 
wealth of public architecture and art in 
comparatively small European cities Inis 
been due — as any one will understand on a 
moment's thought — to earlier political con¬ 
ditions under which at some time the town 


in question was the seat of government of 
some petty kingdom or duchy. In these 
days of great empires and extended sover¬ 
eignties those oldtime motives for the ag¬ 
grandizement of small capitals have disap¬ 
peared. The new motives must be derived

from the pervasive public spirit of the 
inhabitants at large. 

The tendency to create expositions is a 
very valuable part of the outworking ol 
these new motives. When the event has 
become a little more distant, so that it may 
be justly estimated, it will be seen that the 
determination of Chicago to identify itself 
with the Columbian World's Fair, and the 
successful efforts that the people of Chi¬ 
cago m^de to express their aspirations in 
the working out of that enterprise, formed 
one of the most significant things in the 


cans for the first time in their lives a con- 
ccption of harmony in the architecture of 
buildings placed near one another in towns 
That conception is now influencing the 
development of hundreds of cities and 
towns in the growing and prosperous West. 
It was further reinforced by the ehnrming 
arrangement of the buildings at the Omaha 
exposition five years later, and again it is 
exemplified in the buildings of the Pan- 
American at Buffalo. Certainly, then, in 
the matter of the external aspect of o\ir 
growing towns and cities, the various

history of civilization at the close of the 
nineteenth century. The whole future of 
Chicago as our great interior center of en¬ 
terprise and enlightenment was changed for 
the better as a result of that concentrated 
local effort to do a great and fitting thing. 
City architecture in this country has been 
an inharmonious jumble. Where good 
buildings had been constructed, their effect 
as a rule had been lost through lack of 
dignity or harmony in the setting and the 
general environment. The “White City"

American expositions have had a better 
influence than any other one thing. Thev 
have introduced flexibility and beauty into 
the < lesigns of public buifilings —as. forex- 
ample, the new post-office at Chicago, which 
probably owes its architectural excellence 
to the Columbian Exposition rather than to 
anything else. 

Undoubtedly the more strictly local ex¬ 
positions that at one time or another have 
been held annually for a few years in 
American cities would be found to have 
exerted a profound influence in an educa-

tional sense upon the progress of their re¬ 
spective communities. Thus the old Cin¬ 
cinnati expositions held annually for a 
number of years in the early seventies bore 
a very vital relation to the subsequent de¬ 
velopment of Cincinnati as a local center of 
music and art. The St. Louis and Minne¬ 
apolis expositions had a similar local value. 



The holding of the Centennial Exposi¬ 
tion at Philadelphia in 1 <S70 contributed in 
ways almost innumerable to the intellectual 
and esthetic progress of the people of the 
United States. It is a bold statement 
but probably a true one that half of what 
the entire population of the United States 
knew about art twenty years ago had been

two or three (lays’ study of the exhibits 
made in tlie great French expositions of 
1889 and 1900 than by weeks or even 
months of investigation otherwise con¬ 
ducted. Paris, for instance, is a very rich 
and a very industrious city, in which al¬ 
most everybody is profitably employed, and 
in which there is less violence of fluctuation 
from exceptional prosperity to exceptional 
dullness than in almost any other great 
city. This is due in a large measure to the 
intelligent way in which the Parisian people 
have built up industries of an ingenious 
and artistic nature, giving a high value to 
a varied product for which the demand is 
constant and extensive. Thus the Parisians 
do not seek to turn out cheap wares in 
vast (piantities like Manchester or Birming¬ 
ham, but to make fine things with the 
peculiar impress of style. The French 
expositions have not only revealed these 
characteristics of the industrial life of Paris, 
but they have also shown in a most inter¬ 
esting way how the schools aim to perpet¬ 
uate and to advance the industries for 
which the city has long been preeminent. 

The exhibits of the practical trade-schools 
show at a glance how zealously Paris 
teaches her daughters ‘the arts of dress¬ 
making and millinery, including such

how the boys ere taught the designing and

In Germany, this year, while one does 
not find great general expositions attract

arts and in the application of art to indus¬ 
try. There can he no doubt of the rapid 
progress under such methods of many of 
these German towns, not merely in heavy 
and cheap manufactures on the one hand and 
in high art on the other, but also in that 
liappv union of art and industry which 
add-, so much to the commercial value of 
the manufactured output, and also to the 
general progress of a nation in refinement 
and intelligence. 


The attempt to do some important thing 
that requires courage and great effort, 
whether for the individual man or for the 
community, is always attended by minor 
achievements that would not otherwise 
have been made — with permanent results 
of living and thinking on a higher plane. 
Thus the determination to carry out the 
plan of the Exposition of 1900 brought 
Paris to the point of awakened energy and 
will which made it possible to do many

things by way of public improvement that 

otherwise might not have been done for a 

long time. The underground railway, the 

permanent art buildings, the new Nicholas 

Bridge, certain important railway terminal 

improvements and various other things 

worth while might be cited as incidental 

results of the spirit of fresh vigor and effort 

that was aroused by the decision to hold a 

great international exhibition. Chicago in 

like manner was aroused to do manv things

under the general spell of the enthusiasm 
that the Columbian World's Fair had 
kindled. 

Buffalo in its own way will derive manv 
permanent benefits from the quickened am¬ 
bitions and impulses of its Exposition pe¬ 
riod. Buffalo owes its origin to certain 
conditions that made its location an im¬ 
portant focus in the routes of commerce and 
travel. It seems to be on the threshold of

a very great and brilliant future. Much 
of the character of that future can 1m- de¬ 
termined bv the foresight and energy of 
the present generation. The Exposition is 
of itself a demonstration of high public 
spirit aud of rare capacity for united 
action on the part of the citizens of Buffalo. 
Doubtless a hundred years hence the people 

of what will then be an enormously ex¬ 
panded Buffalo will dwell with great inter¬ 
est and pride upon two epochs vital and 
creative in the history of their city—one 
being that of the construction and opening 
of the Erie Canal, and the second lieing 
that of the Fan-American Exposition and 
the successful utilization of the Niagara 
power. Let us hope that they may also 
have a third great epoch to look hack upon 
and celebrate, namely, that of the opening of 
a ship-canal to connect them and their chain 
of inland s;*as with the ocean highwaxs.

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BITI.DINr,. 


THE CITY OF THE FUTURE—A PROPHECY. 

By John Brisben Walker. 


O NE cannot enter the gates of the Pan- 
American Exposition at Buffalo — 
that wonder of color and form which 
rises before the visitor — without mentally 
reverting to the City of White Palaces of 
1893, only eight years ago, with its throngs 
of amazed and delighted people. Even while 
the mind is filled with delight and aston¬ 
ishment, there comes a subconscious picture 
of the neglected “Pinta" which sailed so 
boldly across the Atlantic, and now lies 
abandoned in a marsh from which rise the 
charred ends of many piles — the only re¬ 
maining vestiges of that famous White 
City. What a shame if these marvelous 
creations at Buffalo are to meet a similar 
fate! “What a pity, 1 ' the visitor reflects, 
“that another two or three millions could 
not have been added to the funds at the 
disposal of the commission, and the walls 
stand in substantial brick and mortar 
instead of wood and staff! 11 It might 
have required that the Exposition should 
have been located a few miles farther 
out on the prairie. Then at its close the 
aggregation of palaces might have been 
converted into a model city; the Palace 


of Libera! Arts become a great factory; 
the Temple of Music stand as the theater 
hall; the Stadium remain the great amphi¬ 
theater that it is, to which Buffalo could 
flock in years to come for its amusement. 
Games would, doubtless, be born worthy 
of the dignity of their surroundings. The 
buildings constructed by the states of 
North and South America would become 
private houses set in the most beautiful of 
parks. Probably three-fourths of the cost 
of the Exposition has been in the work on 
its designing, its parks, its waterways, and 
the workmanship of its architecture and 
monuments. Only the materials of the ex¬ 
terior are temporary. Another million or. 
at the most, two millions expended would 
have left every wall in the most durable of 
materials. What a pity then, what a waste 
that this small additional sum should not 
have left the work of great artists in last¬ 
ing form! 

For this is the lesson of the fair — that 
it illustrates what men working in harmo¬ 
nious effort may accomplish for the delight 
of all. Who believes that the people of 
the second half of our new century will be

content to live in those abominations of 
desolation which we call our great cities— 
brick and mortar piled higgledy-piggledy, 
glaringly vulgar, stupidly offensive, inso¬ 
lently trespassing on the right to sunshine 
and fresh air, conglomerate result of a 
competitive individualism which takes no 
regard for the rights of one's neighbor?

conditions they have never been able to ex¬ 
press this conception in material form. It 
has been left for this richest of peoples twice 
to make expression of it in form and color. 
This, then, may be taken as the great 
central idea of the Pan-American Exposi¬ 
tion—a Prophecy of what the city of the 
future must be — a beautiful location ar¬ 
ranged, first, with reference to its landscape; 
second, with reference to its form and per¬ 
fection, and. next, with reference to satis¬ 
fying the eye in its blending colors—all 
carefully planned and worked out with 
reference to the uses to which it is to 
be put. 


When commerce ceases to be war, when 
the world ceases to educate its best brains 
for the destruction which is meant by com¬ 
petition, when human talent shall be con¬ 
verted to its highest sphere of usefulness, 
then we shall have the sites of cities selected 
by commissions having the highest good of 
the proposed community at heart, instead 
of by cornerers and peddlers of real estate. 

Sanitary advantage will be considered 
in a scientific way. and homes and factories 
will be outlined with reference to the high¬ 
est advantage of the entire community. 
Harmony throughout all will be sought, 
instead of the freaks of individuality.

1111 ILLUMINATION OF THK ELECTRIC POWER 


SOME NOVELTIES AT BUFFALO FAIR. 

By Julian Hawthorne. 


‘T”'HE Exposition at Buffalo, like that at 
A Chicago, and at Paris and other 
places, is in a measure prophetic, or — 
what is perhaps the same thing — opti¬ 
mistic. It shows us what is. of course, to 
begin with; but in addition to that it 


glows with the promise of things to be. 
Here are the products of the industry and 
invention of many peoples; we should find 
them in the places whence they came, were 
we to seek them there, but we should not 
find them there as they appear here. Here,

all the dross, the superfluities, the mis¬ 
takes, are left out; the pure, effective resi¬ 
due alone remains. Here, too, are the 
order and logic of arrangement which we 
do not yet discover in every-day condi¬ 
tions; the reasoning mind of man prevails 
in every detail, and organizes all things, 
as the frame of man himself is organized. 
This is prophecy and optimism, for the 
time will surely come when heaven’s lirst 
law will rule our daily lives and deeds, and 
the world we live in will be like noble 
words set to a mighty music. All the 
world will then be an Exposition — an 
exposition of the intelligence and magna¬ 
nimity of mankind made visible. What we

complish then on the scale universal, and 
not so much by painful study as spontane 
ously. Our environment will be harmo¬ 


niously disposed, because we ourselves slu 
be at one in heart and spirit. 

This is the lesson of all expositions; h 
the Pan-American has likewise an idea f 
its own, new and stimulating—the idea 
a united Western continent. This id< 
you see symbolized and expounded ever 
where. It flutters from every gable ar

to say to us. They have been studied out 
by artists of brains and imagination, and 
many of the results are almost too esoteric 
to be at once apparent to the ordinary 
passer-by. Color is the music of the eye, 
and is used here to indicate the same kind 
of ideas which music inculcates. There 
is the heavy richness of the elemental, and 
the airy splendor f the elemental subli¬ 
mated by the intelligence of man. Gold in 
the ore, the diamond in its matrix, cotton 
and wool in the field and pasture, appear 
dim and opaque and rude; but how they 
shine and sparkle and glow and assume 


we yearn to receive them, and who wisely 
withholds the full revelation and endow¬ 
ment until her child is fully prepared to 
make wise use of them — in the struggle 
of these noble figures in the grip of circum¬ 
stance you may, if you will, recognize a 
hint of this beneficent war of the Titan, 
still in his swaddling-clothes, but with the 
light of a heroic future breaking over his 
features. His seeming antagonist is in the 
deeper sense his most tender and inspiring 
friend, who wrestles with him as the angel 
wrestled with Jacob from the going-down 
to the uprising of the sun, but who gave

splendor when gemsmith and goldsmith 
and dyer and weaver have had their day 
with them ! This you may read, if you will, 
in the tints of the buildings which sur¬ 
round that matchless area in which the blue 
lagoons gleam and fountains gush and mur¬ 
mur. And the immortal war of man with 
nature — that which we call war, though 
in truth it is the path toward peace, toward 
the at-one-ment of man with his surround¬ 
ings, his discovery of his unity with his 
environment, his slow but sure initiation 
into the loving secrets of the great Mother, 
who yearns to impart her gifts more than 


him the blessing at last, and whose very 
opposition but strung the other's sinews 
and hardened his muscles for the victory. 
Yonder, on the very tipmost. pinnacle of 
the Tower, hovers the golden Goddess of 
Light, with the gift in her uplifted hand ! 

In the forms and composition of the ar¬ 
chitecture are to be detected other hints, 
breaking at times into almost open speech. 
Technically it is a liberal rendering of the 
Spanish Renaissance: but it symbolizes our 
welcome to the genius of the Latins to 
mingle their strain with the genius of the 
Anglo-Saxon. The problem of an Ameri-

can architecture has never yet been fully 
solved; but the full American is the most 
cosmopolitan man — the sum of all races, 
the union of all forms of talent and gift. 
As he is, so must his habitation be: not a 
crude and unprecedented novelty, but a 
gracious meeting and mingling of the best 
and purest of all foregoing types; yet, 
withal, that very mingling is a greater 
novelty than any other, and establishes for 
the elements that compose it a fresh and 
mighty individuality. So, in man is com¬ 
prised the entire kingdom of the animals; 
but man, rising above all the rest, is him¬ 
self still more than he is cousin to any 
other. 


eye takes in at one glance every principal 
feature of the Exposition. All the vast 
buildings meet and face one another across 
the wide expanse of this stupendous c oun 
of Fountains, which exposes its level acres 
to the bright sunshine of the northern 
Empire State. The shaft of the Electric 
Tower, at the further extremity of this 
interminable space, assumes a magical as¬ 
pect, as if it had been summoned forth by 
the genius of our united people, and might 
fade away at evening like the western 
clouds that adorn with their splendor the 
setting sun. The light and shadow p] av 
over it, and it makes a tender nuptial 
with the sky and seems to palpitate with

Opinions may differ as to whether, in 
absolute architectural value, the buildings 
of the Buffalo Exposition, with their chang¬ 
ing tints, are or are not superior to the 
white creations of the Chicago Fair. We 
may array the testimony of Egypt, India. 
Japan, Venice, against the snowy simplic¬ 
ity of the Acropolis at Athens.* But. be 
that discussion brought to what issue it 
may, there can be little doubt, I think, 
that in point of arrangement or disposition 
the buildings at Buffalo enjoy a manifest 
advantage. Standing on the* Triumphal 
Bridge, at the lower entrance of the grounds, 
between the four superb towers, or pillars, 
surmounted each by its upreariug steed 
with the signaling figure on its back, the 


beautiful life. It is difficult to overesti¬ 
mate the value of this ordered marshaling 
of the component elements of the picture; 
it enters the mind and memory as a whole, 
and maintains its place there without effort. 
And though, in the process of exploration, 
"e may pace many a league, ami go home 
footweary at last, yet we altogether miss 
that most wearisome form of weariness 
which consists in losing our sense of locality 
and direction, and wandering hopeless, as 
wo too often did at (himgn. of ever cora- 
prehending where we were or where we 
wanted to lie. Moreover, when fatigue 
overtakes us, we can at any moment find 
rest and variety of impression ; we may

and ingenuity to the old, immortal re¬ 
freshment of natural beauty. One of 
the leading novelties of this Exposition 
is the great number of trees which re¬ 
lieve the eye at every point. At the 
sides of the Esplanade are Sunken Gar¬ 
dens, lined with trees, beneath which 
hospitable benches invite us to rest 
and listen to the fountain music. 

Some of these inclosed waters are 
surrounded with reeds and other 
tall grasses, and on their bosom float 
water-lilies. Love-making is no 
new thing in the world, fortunately ; 
but it is far from common that so 
many ideal spots for making it should 
be provided as may be found here. The 
lovely statues of gods and goddesses look 
down approvingly upon the youth and 
maiden, and the murmur of the falling 
waters Alls the intervals of their speech. 
In the vastness, the great crowd passes them 
by, and notes them not. From afar, yet 
always near enough, the strains of human 
music are wafted to their ears; you can 
find no nook here so remote but the throb 
of melody will search it out. if you listen. 
Surely good fortune should attend the mar¬ 
riages which find their beginnings in cir¬ 
cumstances so propitious. 

Of the subsidiary novelties, the fountain 
which bursts forth from the base of the 
Electric Tower is the most striking. The 
Tower itself must be near four hundred

feet in height; for half its height upward 
it is four-square, thence diminishing stage 
by stage, in pillared intervals, to the pin¬ 
nacle and the goddess at the summit. The 
lower half has a broad panel of Niagara 
green (a hue which we find often repeated 
throughout the Exposition) extending 
down its center; but this is interrupted at 
a height of about seventy feet from the 
base by an exquisite pillared colonnade, 
which curves forward like inviting arms, 
each arm terminating in a sculptured pa¬ 
vilion. In the center of this arcade, and 
out of a green niche in the body of the 
Tower, gushes forth in a huge turmoil of 
snow-white foam an endless volume of 
water, and it falls in glorious cascades over 
the terraces that lead downward to the 
basin. A sort of miracle seems to have 
been accomplished, as when Moses 
smote the rock for the thirsty 
Israelites. This everlasting out- 
gush redeems with its freshness 
and exuberance the heat of the 
sun and the weariness of the dis¬ 
tances. From every point of view 
it is visible, and the soft thunder 
of its down-tumbling rejoices the 
soul. It reminds us of the pro¬ 
pinquity of Niagara itself, and 
makes the stable architecture of 
its environment vibrate with liv¬ 
ing energy. Often and often do 
we return to it, and always with a new 
perception of felicity and power. 

On the right, diagonally behind the 
Tower, rise the xvalls of the Stadium, 
another innovation; itisasortof gigan¬ 
tic son of the Madison Square Garden, 
with its hat off. It recalls a Greek

original, such as the athletes, physical and 
intellectual, were wont to meet in when 
Greece was glorious, to struggle for the crown 
of honor. But I doubt whether Greece or 
Home ever built a circus so gigantic as 
this. The running-track covers a circuit 
of a quarter of a mile: and the entire struct ■ 
ure cannot be less than nine hundred feet 
in diameter. From the ground, slanting 
backward and upward, tier above tier, rise 
the circling benches, seating twelve thou¬ 
sand persons, without account of what the 
floor-space might accommodate. But the 
floor, of course, is the green turf, and the 
roof is the blue sky, and it would hardly 
be possible to swing a canvas vast enough 
to screen the interior from the sun, as was 
done of old in the Coliseum. But what a noble 
spectacle must be this stupendous sweep 
of benches filled with a population of spec¬ 
tators, with their movement, their color am 
their uproar of multitudinous 
voices! What sight magnificent 
enough to correspond with such 
a gathering could be devised ? 

Some greater Barnum, with the 
humbug left out, some mightier 
Neio, with the inhumanity 
purged away, some nobler Per¬ 
icles, with a world at his com¬ 
mand, would be needed for such 
an enterprise. Indeed, the time 
is hardly yet come when we can 
put this Stadium to a fitting 


use; but, like the rest of 
the conception of which it 
is a part, it must be re- 
garded in its prophetic 
aspect. Here should meet 
in fraternal rivalry the com¬ 
petitors of a continent. i n 
an emulation and a splen¬ 
dor befitting their re¬ 
sources and attainments. 

Beyond a certain ad¬ 
vance in electrical inven¬ 
tions and applications, re¬ 
alized during the last fen- 
years. there is little that 
is actually new among the 
various things and proc¬ 
esses shown in the Ex¬ 
position buildings at Buf¬ 
falo; we see here what we 
saw at Chicago, though the 
arrangement is superior 
and the selection of exhibits more care¬ 
ful and reticent. In completeness, the 
l nited States Building stands first, and i; 
ought to lie made permanent, for it con¬ 
tains within itself a liberal education ufTcrcd 
to the eye: months might well be -pent 
in studying this collection alone. To t|,i, 
unimaginable affluence of resource ami 
achievement have we arrived since the time, 
less than thtee centuries ago. when the sad 
garbed Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Hock, 
or the Cavaliers made harbor at Jamestown. 
But these, and the other exhibits. I must 
leave to other pens; it comes within mv

scope only to mention the Acetylene Build¬ 
ing, which, as evening comes on, shines 
and twinkles all over with a pure white 
light, more brilliant than the Edison in¬ 
candescent light itself, and making the 
latter look orange by contrast. It is an 
appurtenance more exactly of the Midway 
exhibitions than of the Exposition proper. 
Nor will I linger over the Life-Saving ex¬ 
hibition on the lake shore at the extreme 
southern limit of the grounds; it is thrill- 
ingly interesting, hut it belongs in a class 
by itself. We must spend our remaining 
time in the Midway, which contains many 
novelties, in addition to the old Midway 
flavor and character with which we became 


most compelled to stay there; whereas here 
you may pass out and in so readily that 
your stay is dependent on the whim of the 
moment. Be that as it may, the whim is 
likely to be in favor of remaining. The 
concessionaires, as we are constrained for 
lack of a better name to call them, have 
studied their part diligently during the past 
eight years, and show the effect in the 
quality and inventiveness of their attrac¬ 
tions. The Cairo Street is, of course, 
nearly unaltered; it originally contained 
all that could be brought from the East 
except the buildings themselves, which were 
represented. At this Exposition it is an 
exotic, a guest, invited on account of its

so fondly familiar at Chicago. Man's 
works are shown in the Exposition, but man 
himself occupies the Midway in all his va¬ 
rieties, and the wonder and fascination of 
him still surpasses in its own way anything 
that he is able to produce. 

The Midway, instead of stretching away 
into a region apart, as at Chicago, winds 
itself round two sides of the Buffalo Expo¬ 
sition, and is immediately accessible from 
many points of the Exposition grounds. 
This would seem to promise a larger attend¬ 
ance: but on the other hand it may make 
it a less constant quantity; for at Chicago, 
once vou got to the Midwav, vou felt al- 


inimitable charm ; with Pan-America it 
has no organic connection. Here are the 
camels, and the elephant, and the Bed¬ 
ouins. and the dancing-girls, as we know 
them of old; at least two charming Fati¬ 
mas, more beautiful than ever; and the 
booths with their glittering and glowing 
display. Here rise once more the minarets; 
and the mesherabie still decorate the 
crabbed house-fronts. And yet I cannot 
say that Cairo Street seems to me as fas¬ 
cinating as it did years ago; perhaps the 
difference may be that we have become 
mutually accustomed to each other, and the

bility to it have both diminished. Cer¬ 
tainly I should find it hard to put my 
finger on any specific deficiency; and on 
the other hand there are undoubtedly some 
improvements. But we seek novelty, and 
let us therefore make the Trip to the Moon. 

Readers of The Cosmopolitan, to be 
sure, recently made this trip in the com¬ 
pany of Mr. Wells; and I suspect that our 
present entertainer may have been present 
on that occasion; at all events, there are 
several minor features in what he shows us 
which confirm Mr. Wells' report. I noticed 
a mooncalf lurking clumsily amidst the 
rocks; and the vegetation is of the fungous 
order; while the Selenites themselves have

ing speech. 

These creat¬ 
ures, too,

caverns be¬ 
neath the

we find de¬ 
tails similar 
to those por- 
trayed by 
Mr. Wells, 

what else the Mexican gov 

should we expect?—unless we accuse him 
of inaccuracy! The procedure is as fol¬ 
lows :— 

The prospective voyagers take their seats 
in a darkened auditorium, where the guide 
expresses to them in pregnant phrases the 
extraordinary nature of the adventure on 
which they are embarking. Then, at the 
back of the stage, in a starlit sky, the 
aerial ship in which the voyage is to be 
made is seen descending earthward. It 
passes out of sight; and the inexperienced 
suppose that now the scene will change, 
and that we, remaining in our seats, will 
be carried in imagination only through the 


various chapters of the journey. But the 
order given is, “Leave your seats and fol¬ 
low me!” 

Out we troop accordingly, in the glim- 
mering dusk, and pass through a passage 
and over a gangway to other seats on the 
deck of the aerial ship itself. Yes, verily 
there we sit, while the marvelous vessel 
waves its wings, and far. far below us 
with its electric light- shining, lies the 
terrestrial city of BulTalo. The broad, bat¬ 
like wings wave more powerfully, till at 
length we seem to leave our earthly moor¬ 
ings and to sail steadily but swiftly 
through the depths of infinite space. In a 
few moments we find ourselves passing 

through a

cloud, and 
the lightning 
flashes round 
us, and the 
thunder rolls, 
the win d

speed is im¬

anon we have 
risen above 
the clouds, 
and now be¬

few moments, with a slight jar, we have 
come to anchor on it- surface. The order 
comes to disembark. 

W ell, here we are positively treading on 
the rugged surface of Luna, and, amidst 
strange vegetation and unfamiliar objects, 
we plunge down a devious path into the 
interior. The little Selenites have per¬ 
ceived our advent, and run before us, with 
queer twitterings, marshaling our way; 
they are hardly half the average stature of 
earthly men, and are oddly misshapen. 
M onderful blue and crimson lights flash 
and glow upon us, indescribable forms as-

toun<l our eyes, the grotesque splendor of 
our surroundings increases with every step. 
Erelong we find ourselves in the central 
crypts of the planet, with huge jewels and 
masses of gold and weird vistas and abysses 
all about us. In a great cavern, gorgeously 
illuminated, we find the monarch of the 
Selenites, attended by his subjects, who, 
in our honor, perform a moon-dance. Some 
other ceremonies occur, and then, by a 
short cut. following the voice of our con¬ 
ductor — lo! we are on our own old earth 
again, and filing forth into the familiar 
daylight of the Midway! 


BEAUTIFUL BASINS. 

I have given this narrative in detail, be¬ 
cause it is typical of several experiences 
which we are to undergo during our explo¬ 
ration of the Buffalo Exposition marvels. 
They are elaborate illusions, ingeniously 
carried out, so that instead of viewing a 
performance on a stage, we are ourselves 
participants in the scene. Thus in ‘‘Dark¬ 
ness and Dawn,” after sitting awhile at 
tables in a darkened room, we discover 
that the tables are in fact coffins, tenanted 
by uneasy ghosts, who groan and talk and 
rattle their coffin-lids; we are invited to 
the regions of Tophet, and in order to pay

our passage 
must sacrifice 
one of our num¬ 
ber to the King 
of the Shades. 

He mounts the 
stage, enters a 
coffin placed 
upright there, 
and before our 
eyes undergoes 
a ghastly trans¬ 
formation from 
flesh and blood 
to a fleshlcss 
skeleton. Then 
we arise and fol¬ 
low our guide 
below; an ele¬ 
vator carries us 
swiftly to an 
immense depth 
in the bowels of 
the earth; there we wander through hideous 
caverns; we see Charon with his boat on the 
Styx: we enter the infernal regions. Fiends 
in awful shapes haunt our path; the groans 
of tormented spirits salute our ears, and we 
behold their tortures. At length we en¬ 
counter the Arch-Fiend himself; but just 
as we have given up all hope, the environ¬ 
ment undergoes a change for the better; we 
are now approaching paradise; and stand 
amazed in the midst of a glorious transfor¬ 
mation-scene. Thus we are gently restored 
to our own earthly habitation, safe and sound 
after an hour in hell. 

This kind of entertainment is new, and 
obviously it can be indefinitely extended 
and improved. By calling in the resources 
of science, positive illusions may be pro¬ 
duced, and the painted pasteboard and 
colored lights, and the rest of the para¬ 


phernalia, can 
be so refined 
that little or 
tto exercise of 
i in a g i n a t i o n 
will be needed 
to help out the 
art of t ho show■

note of the idea 
is the active 
cooperation of

his own enter¬

there is hardly 
a limit to the 
possibilities in 
this direction.

ORGANIZATION AS APPLIED TO ART. 

By C Y. Turner. 


A T a joint committee meeting held at 
tlie National Arts Club some time in 
March, 1900, Mr. John M. Carrere, Chair¬ 
man of the Board of Architects, explained 
the wishes of the Pan American Exposition 
Company and those of the architects regard¬ 
ing the sculptural adornment and proposed 
coloring of the exhibition. lie explained 
the plan of the grounds and buildings, 
waterways, 
et cetera, and 
requested 
that the 
sculptors 
and painters 
select the 
committee or 
]iers o n t o 
take charge 
of the sculpt¬ 
ure and the 
coloring of 
the Exposi- 
t i o n . He 
asked that 
the painters 
and sculptors 
collaborate 
w i t h the 
architects to- 
w a r d t h e 
beautifying 
of the Ex¬ 
pos i t ion. 

This was a 
long step in 
advance to- 
w a r d t h e 
develop- 
ment of the 
allied arts, and personally I hailed it with 
great delight, for it seemed to me that an 
opportunity occurred to place the painters 
and sculptors in a proper relation of com¬ 
plete harmony with the architects. 

At a meeting of the National Society of 
Mural Painters which shortly followed this, 
I was chosen as the one they thought ca¬ 
pable of carrying out the coloring of the 
exhibition. This selection was forwarded 
to Mr. Carrere, and in due course. Mr. 
Bitter and myself were appointed as the 


persons to take charge of the sculpture and 
the coloring. 

At a later meeting of the Board of Archi¬ 
tects held in Buffalo, the question of color 
was brought up and fully discussed. Mr. 
Peabody had carefully planned and colored 
the drawings for the Horticulture Group, 
and brought to Buffalo a number of small 
models of portions of these buildings which 

were colored 
in a fashion 
t hat seemed 
to him a 
proper treat- 
m e n t . I 
should say 
here that it 
had become 
the general 
opinion that 
the Exposi¬ 
tion build¬ 
ings should 
be designed 
to receive 
color, and 
the style of 
architecture 
which at that 
early period 
w as m e n - 
tionedasthe 
most fitting 
for the pur¬ 
pose, the 
Spanish Re¬ 
naissance, 
was in the 
minds of 
most of 
them the most suitable style. At a later 
period this was changed to Free Renais¬ 
sance, which, of course, permitted the in¬ 
troduction of Italian, German and French 
Renaissance. 

The desire of the Exposition Company 
and the Board of Architects was to color 
the Exposition buildings highly, and hav¬ 
ing in mind the Spanish-American feature. 
I was prepared to say that I thought the 
buildings should be treated in some shade 
of warm white for the flat surfaces and the

ORGANIZATION AS APPLIED TO ART. 


ornamentation should be highly enriched. 
The Board of Architects adopted this sug¬ 
gestion, and added to it that I should carry 
on the coloring of the Exposition in con¬ 
sultation with the individual architect. 
With this idea in view, returning to New 
York, I took up the matter and laid out 
a general plan for coloring the Exposition. 

The buildings have hip-roofs at an angle 
of thirty degrees, covered with tile. All 
the walls and other surfaces are of staff and 
plaster, therefore there were three great ele¬ 
ments to deal with — the sky, which would 
be blue, with floating clouds; the build¬ 
ings, with red roofs and warm-grav walls; 
and the earth, with the grass, trees, statuary, 
landings, et cetera, of green and white. 


sketches, I attended a meeting given by 
the Sculptors' Society, which had for its 
object an explanation of the manner in 
which they would suggest that the build 
ings and grounds should be treated sculpt¬ 
urally, and Mr. Bitter outlined his general 
plan, which was very interesting and in. 
genious. 

Mr. Bitter believed the Exposition 
should be a lesson for the public, and 
that the sculpture upon the buildings 
should convey as far as possible the pur¬ 
pose for which each building was erected 
and suggest the character of exhibits which 
it would contain. He proposed to treat 
the sculptural groups about the Govern¬ 
ment Building in such a manner as to sug- 



THK MACHINERY AND TRANSPORTATION 1U II .DIM, 


My first step was to make a small sketch 
in color, and then I took an enlargement 
of the bird's-eye view and colored it. I 
was convinced that something larger and 
more in detail, to arrange the scheme in¬ 
telligently, was needed. Therefore I ap 
plied for permission to have made a model 
of the various buildings to scale. In due 
course of time this was accomplished, and 
there was executed and erected in my 
studio a model which covered a space of 
twelve by sixteen feet. This model was 
made to scale of one-sixteenth inch to the 
foot, and all the buildings were colored and 
changed as was deemed necessary until a 
harmonious result was attained. 

During the preparation of my first 


gest man in his primitive state, the Horti- 
culture Group portraying the natural re¬ 
sources of the earth. Here the battle of 
life, which man has ever waged with the 
elements, begins. We find, as we progress 
up the grounds, the result of his labors in 
the Machinery and Transportation and 
Electricity Buildings shown on one side, 
and Liberal Arts and Agriculture on the 
other suggesting the result of his struggles. 
The Restauiant and the entrances to the 
Midway and the Stadium suggest amuse¬ 
ments and games. The Electric Tower, 
representing tin- crowning achievement of 
man, is dedicated to the great waterwnx s and 
the power of Niagara that is utilized to 
generate the current which runs the Ex-

position. Without going into the detail 
of Mr. Hitter’s plan, it seemed to me a very 
logical and proper treatment of the Ex¬ 
position. and it was wise for me to pursue 
a similar course in the color treatment, so 
that I might in this way carry out a gen¬ 
eral scheme in harmony with the plan of 
the grounds, buildings and sculptural ar¬ 
rangement. Taking it for granted then 
that as we enter the grounds from the park 
through the forecourt, the causeway bids 
welcome to the visitors and the countries 


in color the same thought which Mr. Bitter 
was following in sculpture. 

Since I wished in some way to emphasize 
the great power which was being used to 
uin the Exposition, the beautiful emerald- 
green hue of the water as it curls over the 
crest of Niagara Falls seemed to me a most 
fitting note to carry through the Exposi¬ 
tion, and I therefore adopted it and this 
color is found on some portion of every 
building. 

In the Tower I have given it marked 


THE TEMPLE OF MUSIC. 


taking part in the Exposition, and we then 
come upon the elementary conditions, that 
is. the earliest state of man suggested on 
one side and primitive nature on the other, 
I concluded that the strongest primary 
colors should be applied here; as we advance 
up the grounds, the colors should be more 
refined and less contrasting, and the Tower, 
which is to suggest the triumph of man s 
achievement, should be the lightest and 
most delicate in color. 

Thus it was my effort to try to carry out 


emphasis, and have made the general scheme 
here ivory-white, green and gold. 

This is my general plan or scheme, and 
my wish has been to do all that was pos¬ 
sible to express this idea and be in har¬ 
mony with what I believed the architects 
and sculptors wished to say through their 
respective arts. 

The small model when colored could give 
only the tints of the body of the building? 
and the roofs, with some slight suggestion 
of towers and pinnacles, doorways, et 









496 


ORGANIZATION AS APPLIED TO AR'/\ 



cetera. It was necessary, therefore, to be 
more explicit. The drawings of each 
building were taken up and colored in de¬ 
tail, first the elevations and then tin* great 
doorways, towers, corner pavilions, en¬ 
trances, finials, and all other parts which 
might be treated. 

The Board of Architects as well as 
the Exposition Company desired that the 
buildings should be treated in brilliant 
colors and that a suggestion of Spanish 
treatment of architecture in coloring should 
be given. I therefore looked this matter 
tip and tried to familiarize myself with the 
manner of their treatment, and started out 
with the idea to pursue this course and 
produce a result which should resemble, as 
nearly as might be. work of that period. 

The Horticulture Group has orange as a 
basis for the color of the body of the build¬ 
ing- On the Government Building a 
warm yellow is used for the plain surfaces. 
For the Temple of Music I have used red. 
quite pure, as the foundation color; for Eth¬ 
nology, a golden yellow. <) n the Machinery 
and Transportation Building, green is the 
basis; and opposite it across the Court, the 
Liberal Arts Building is a warm gray. The

doorways elaborately enriched in their 
ornament with delicate shades of the pre¬ 
vailing tones used throughout the Exposi¬ 
tion. The Agriculture Building is warmer, 
and there are blue, yellow and ivory, with 
stronger notes of red and green, in the 
entrances. The Restaurants are ivory and 
French gray, with green sashes, and min¬ 
arets and pinnacles tipped with gold. The 
Propyhea, which curves across the north 
end of the grounds, has a wide, open arcade, 
and its panels are enriched with brilliant 
red surrounding the white statues. The 
panels above are bright yellow, while the 
ceilings are blue and the trellis above is 
made a strong violet hue. Violet occurs 
again at the arched entrances. The Rail¬ 
way Transportation Building is in French 
gray with a green roof; while the Stadium, 
one of the most imposing buildings of the 
fair, is light ivory-gray with pale blue- 
green sash and doors. The Electric Tower 
is very light ivory, and is enriched in 
the capitals, brackets, tinials, stars, pinna¬ 
cles, et cetera with gold, and crowned with 
a gilded figure of the Goddess of Light. 
The panels have the brightest fresh blue- 
green we could make, suggesting the water 


as it curves over the crest at Niagara. 
The statuary throughout the grounds is 
treated in pure white, and it is my belief 
that it is a pleasant contrast and makes 
the color-scheme more apparent. Lamps 
and urns are treated as green bronze, verte 
antique. Flagstaff bases are in similar 
vein, except the greater ones, which har¬ 
monize with the buildings in their imme¬ 
diate neighborhood — cool at the north end 
of the grounds, ivory and green; and red, 
yellow and blue at the south. The great 
piers at the causeway are of a soft, warm 
gray, suggesting cane, stone, or some such 
kindred material, with bronze at intervals. 
The pergolas are treated in bright colors, 
the lower third of the columns being orange 
or red and the upper two-thirds a light 
stone color, with brown beams, blue ceiling 
and green roofs. The notes of green, gold, 
ivory, blue and red are distributed through¬ 
out all the buildings so that it can be said, 
as some one remarked to me, “I see you 
are using the Pan-American colors on the 
buildings — red, white, blue, green and 
yellow.’’ The buildings in the Midway, 
or Vanity Fair, are treated with more 
liberty, but similar in general tone of color

to the main portion of the Exposition. 
The State Buildings and other concessions 
about the grounds have considerable lati¬ 
tude in treatment, held in check only when 
something too startling is suggested. The 
Woman's Building, which is a remodeled 
country club-house, has been treated in 
soft, quiet green. All the canal banks, 
bridges and embankments have soft gray 
stone color, with little or no enrichment 
other than the architectural design. 

Of course, many hags and banners are 
distributed on the buildings of the countries 
taking part in the Exposition, and add 
gaiety and liveliness to the scene. Awnings 
at the landings and pergolas are treated 
with bright striped goods to harmonize 
with the buildings adjoining, and tloats. 
gondolas, et cetera have all received their 
colors. 

This is the first time that a general 
scheme of color has been undertaken and 
carried out in any exposition, and it is our 


sincere hope and belief tlmt 
the result warrants the time, 
labor and money expended 
upon it. and gives great pleas¬ 
ure and will influence similar 
work in the future. 

The interior decorations 
conform in general plan to the 
exterior coloring of the build¬ 
ings. and relate so far as pos¬ 
sible to the exhibits contained 
therein. 

It was believed that a much 
more attractive treatment of 
the interior decorations might be carried 
out than that which has been the custom 
heretofore in exhibitions, by the use of 
banners, bunting, cartouches and tapestries, 
and making use of portions of the exhibits 
The general color scheme in each case 
was carried out in harmony with the <\ 
terior coloring. 

rhe Machinery and Transportation Build 
ing is decorated in two shades of yellww 
A great number of bright-colored ib, , 
are so used that the effect of the building 
is kept in gold and red of varying de¬ 
grees. The yellow draperies arc attached 
to the beam* which bound the skvlight 
and are so drawn back to a level with the 
caves as to make long, sweeping lines 
running in the direction of the roof with¬ 
out concealing the construction of the raf¬ 
ters and trusses. Through the renter, 
attached to the ridgepole of the skvli-dit 
are large clusters of colored buntings ar 
ranged like great chandelier*. These

continue around the entire building, mak¬ 
ing a brilliant row of color which empha¬ 
sizes and echoes the many tints among the 
exhibits. At a number of places above the 
twenty-foot line are placed large tapestry 
paintings that represent materials, and 
scenes upon railroads and waterways and 
in factories, relating to those exhibits 
which are beneath them, forming a series 
of decorations upon the wall surface and 
giving masses of color to spots which 
would otherwise be bare and monotonous. 

In the Electricity Building, light shades 
of green and violet bunting are used. Every¬ 
thing in this building in the way of deco¬ 
ration is kept very light to avoid interfer¬ 
ing with the electrical display. Violet 
and green form the most agreeable combina¬ 
tions, which show electric light to advan¬ 
tage. Here, too, tapestry paintings are 
used, notably in the central portion of the 
building, where the draperies are car¬ 
ried up to the center, filling the entire 
dome. 

In the Agriculture Building the colors 
used are intended to suggest autumn and 
spring. The use of strong yellow and 
light yellowish-green predominates, and 


because of the number of South American 
countries represented in this building their 
flags are distributed very freely, adding 
much red and yellow with large spots of 
green. Here, too, the cartouches are used, 
with coats of arms of the countries taking 
part in the exhibition, as well as the tap¬ 
estry paintings illustrating the exhibits. 
The construction of this building lends 
itself very happily to the decorations. 
The walls are also covered with green 
burlap. 

The use of gold, blue and white in ttie 
Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building 
keeps the effect there rather quiet. There 
being such a multitude of booths of great 
variety, it was deemed wise to restrain the 
interior decorations and strive for a quiet 
effect. Here seines have been used in dec¬ 
orating, and form part of an exhibit at the 
same time. 

In the Bazaar Building, where there also 
occurs great variety in the character of the 
exhibits, green, white and gold were used 
in the draperies which are festooned among 
the rafters of the roof. 

The entire walls as well as the ceiling 
of the Graphic Arts Building have been

covered with olive-green burlap, making a 
very pleasing background for the variety of 
exhibits of the graphic arts. 

Maroon burlap has been chosen for the 
Mines Building, because it was thought 
this would be the best surrounding for the 
exhibits. 

In the Horticulture Building a great deal 
of care has been taken to keep the color 
tones as light as possible by the use of white 
and green, and artificial leaves. Festoons 
and clusters are gathered about the trusses 
and rafters, and along the beams are drap¬ 
eries radiating from the domes to the 
trusses below. Flowers and plants have 
been clustered about the posts, and the 
great figure of the Goddess of Light has 
been placed in the center of the build¬ 
ing, surrounded bv palms which give the 
keynote of green and white to the build¬ 
ing. 

In the Acetylene Building old-rose and 
white as a combination, with a little green, 
have been used, this being deemed by the 
exhibitors the best combination of color 
to display their light to advantage. 

In the distribution of flags about the 


grounds and buildings, great care 1ms been 
taken to have the stronger colors massed 
at the south end and the cooler light 
shades in the neighborhood of the Tower, 
to conform with the general scheme of color 
and not mar the effect. Of course, the 
flags of the various countries taking part 
in the exhibition have been distributed 
throughout the grounds and the build¬ 
ings. 

Let me once more emphasize the fact that 
in this Exposition for the first time in mv 
knowledge the allied arts are in evidence 
and the architect, painter and sculptor 
have worked together toward a common 
end. the beautifying of the great Exposi¬ 
tion; and although the sculptor and painter 
were called upon quite early, much earlier 
than has ever been known Itefon •, 1 feel 
quite sure that they should be consulted at 
the very inception of any exposition, or 
building of importance, or enterprise of 
any kind which has art as an important 
factor. 1 he chief end of such an exposi¬ 
tion is harmony. All such work, it is 
evident, should begin and proceed in con¬ 
sultation. 

















AN ATHLETIC MEET IN THE STADIUM. 


ATHLETICS ANI) THE STADIUM. 

By James E. Sullivan, President of tlie A. A. U. 


I ''HAT we are rapidly becoming an ath¬ 
letic nation, and that physical educa¬ 
tion is fully recognized, is apparent to any 
one who visits the Pan-American Exposi¬ 
tion at Buffalo this year. Many features 
will long be remembered by those fortunate 
enough to visit the Exposition, and from 
a spectacular standpoint in comparison 
with the Chicago and Paris expositions all 
admit that the Buffalo electrical display 
stands preeminent. But with its position 
as leader in electricity acknowledged, 
there is one other feature that will live in 
the memories of the many thousands years 
and years after the electrical display is for¬ 
gotten, and that is the recognition of ath¬ 
letics and the building of the Stadium. 

The American youth is being educated 
now at school, at college and in clubs to 
follow athletics, fresh air and recreation as 
a means of building up a sound body, know¬ 


ing perfectly well that a sound physique 
will naturally give to an intelligent mind 
a better working foundation. 

Athletics at the Pan-American Exposi¬ 
tion have been thought over and worked 
out for a year or more, and the name of 
Mr. \Y. 1. Buchanan, Director-General of 
the Exposition, should be added to the roll 
of honor in future athletic history, for 
I have been reliably informed that he is the 
man who conceived the idea of having an 
Athletic Congress during the year of 1901 
in the city of Buffalo which would eclipse 
any athletic carnival heretofore attempted, 
with the object that athletics should be¬

Mr. Spalding struck the keynote when he 
said that he was proud to be the Director 
of Sports to bring to Europe the finest 
specimens of manhood that could be pro¬ 
duced throughout the civilized world—for 
the Americans won nearly all the prizes. 
Furthermore he said there might be some 
discussion as to the awarding of the Grand 
Prix to the American engineer or artisan, 
because the objects displayed were in¬ 
animate, could not talk, and were not 
allowed to perform for themselves, but 
that with the athletes it was entirely differ¬ 
ent it was a case of personal competition 
and personal superiority. Therefore it is 
only fair that we should give to the Pan- 
American people the full credit of being 
the first exposition authorities to recog¬ 
nize athletic sports in a national way in 
America. To the Committee on Sports a 
great deal of credit is due. This com- 
mittee composed of the leading athletic 
authorities from the different collets has

A few words now about the Stadium. 

It is without doubt the largest and most 
imposing athletic arena ever erected in this 
country, and it is to be regretted that it 
cannot be left in the city of Buffalo per¬ 
manently as a monument to athletics. J 
fear, however, it will share the fate of all 
the other buildings. It is modeled a good 
deal after the ancient Stadium at Athens, 
but is somewhat smaller. It covers a plot 
six hundred and seventy-eight and one- 
half by four hundred and fifty and one- 


boaroino a gondola.

half feet, and has a quarter-mile track about 
twenty-two feet in width. 

To the knowing ones it seems marvelous 
that such a grand athletic amphitheater 
could possibly be erected in such a short 
space of time, for in the latter part of 
April the entire arena was one mudhole 
and to an inexperienced mechanic it looked 
as though the arena would never be fin¬ 
ished. Talent was secured, and as a result 
the Stadium to-day is beautiful, and any 
one who visits Buffalo without seeing it 
will miss a rare treat. The infield is en- 
tirely level and sodded. The track was 


lars, and it has certainly been well spent. 

What has the Exposition done for ath¬ 
letics? It has given to all kinds of cham¬ 
pions an opportunity to compete and win 
handsome trophies that will be cherished 
long after club emblems are forgotten. It 
has given to thousands an intelligent idea 
of athletics and of what the brawn and 
muscle of America represent. No doubt 
many who go to Buffalo who have no idea 
of ever taking part in or enjoying sport of 
any kind, will become enthusiasts. Almost 
every kind of sport is represented here, and 
the interest thus aroused will be of lasting

built by an expert, and it is without doubt 
the fastest and best-built track in the 
world. The seating capacity of the Sta¬ 
dium is between ten and twelve thousand. 
The front of the Stadium is most impress¬ 
ive. The entrance is through a two-storv 
building covering one hundred and seventy 
feet by fifty-two feet of ground space. 
Much time and labor have been spent on 
its adornment. Its color is animated, and 
from a sculptural standpoint it appears 
massive and artistic. The amount of money 
that has been spent on the Stadium is about 
one hundred and twenty-five thousand dol- 


benefit to the country. Thousands are see¬ 
ing and learning things that heretofore 
were as strange to them as the hieroglyphics 
on Cleopatra's Needle. 

The program scheduled from May to 
October is an elaborate one, the most elab¬ 
orate ever arranged by a corporation or an 
individual in the civilized world so far as 
our records can go, and up to the present 
writing it has been successfully carried out. 

The sports opened within the Stadium 
with a game of base-ball between the Car¬ 
lisle Indians and the Cornell University 
team. This was followed soon after with

an intercollegiate track meeting. At this 
meeting all the leading American athletes 
displayed their ability. The great Arthur 
Duffy won the one-hundred-yard dash in 
ten seconds on a new track. DeWitt, the 
young Hercules, displayed his ability as a 
hammer-thrower. Beck won the shot-put¬ 
ting event, and the Eastern champions for 
the first time competed with the West¬ 
ern intercollegiate champions. Cor¬ 
nell's fine team secured the 
greatest number of points. 

It was, however, on .June 
13th, 14th and 
15th that the 
principal athletic 
features of the 
year were de¬ 
cided most 
successful¬ 
ly, those 
days being 
the junior 
and senior 
dates of the 
Amateur 
Athletic 


Union championships and a handicap meet 
ing. The handicap meeting preceded the 
championships and brought together i 
great many of the crack American athletes, 
the Knickerbocker Athletic Club securing 
the greatest number of points. On the 
second day the junior championships showed 
the Pastime Athletic Club of New Y‘>rk city 
ns the premier junior organization. In 
the senior championships the hon¬ 
ors went to the New York Ath¬

style. He ran the one-hundred-yard 
dash in nine and four-fifths seconds, 
record time, but it is doubtful if that 
record will be allowed, as a slight 
wind aided him. The field events 
brought together the athletic giants of 
America — Flanagan, Edgren, Sheridan. 
Heck, llenneman, DeWitt, Gunn and 
Gill. In throwing the discus, the an¬ 
cient Grecian game, a young man from 
Canada, Harry E. Gill, threw the missile 
one hundred and eighteen feet five 
inches; the effort of Richard J. Sheri¬ 
dan. the second man, measured one 
hundred and eleven feet nine and one- 
half inches; John Flanagan was third, 
with one hundred and nine feet four 
and one-half inches, and llenneman 
was fourth, one hundred and six feet 
ten inches. These instances are cited 
merely as an illustration to show the 
supremacy of the American athlete 
and his ability to master any sport ath¬ 
letically, no matter how intricate. 
Throwing the discus was unknown in 
this country until the return of Mr. 
Robert Garrett, of Princeton, in 1896. 
from Athens, where he competed with 
the famous Grecian discus-throwers.

To the surprise of all. lie not only won the 
championship there but beat the Grecian 
record which had stood for 
centuries. On his return to 
America he brought with him 
the discus. It was immedi¬ 
ately copied and manufact¬ 
ured here, with the result that 
to-day America has the great¬ 
est discus-throwers in the 
world. It was at the junior 
championship meeting that 
Jerry Pierce, the famous In¬ 
dian runner, made his appear¬ 
ance. lie won the junior 
distance run in handsome 
style, but he was defeated by 


noon of the Fourth of July, with ten thou¬ 
sand interested spectators gazing on them 
the champions of each country strove for 
the Pan-American honors. It was a good 
game, but the Canadians were certainly 
more adept at lacrosse than the New v 0 ^ 
city boys and won easily. 

On the same day the all-around cham¬ 
pionships of the 1 nited States were de¬ 
cided—the blue-ribbon event of the athletic 
arena. It comprises ten events and i s 
scored by percentage, each athlete receiv¬ 
ing credit for his performance in each of 
the ten contests, the athlete securing the 
highest percentage to be the winner. The 
entries for the all-around championships 
are always small; in fact, there are verv 
few men in America who can go through 
the ten events with any degree of success 
because a man is compelled to run, jump 
walk, throw the weights and pole-vault 
and a specialist has no bus¬ 
iness in the event. The 
contest this year was close 
between Adam Gunn, of buf¬ 
falo: Dan Reuss, of the Knick¬ 
erbocker Athletic Club; Mi K 
Hall, of buffalo, and J, x. 
Mahoney, of the Knicker¬ 
bocker Athletic Club. Gunn, 
the buffalo lad. finally won.

In basket-ball, which is apparently Amer¬ 
ica s coming indoor game, the champion¬ 
ship contests were held in the Stadium 
on the 1 ith and 18th of June. No fewer 
than seven teams from all parts of the 
country assembled, and the display of bas¬ 
ket-ball given was very creditable. Teams 
f om New Jersey, New England and New 
^ ork strove for the honors, but it remained 
for a Buffalo team, practically unknown 
theretofore, to win the coveted trophy. 

The early part of July saw as interest¬ 
ing a series of lacrosse matches as was ever 
played in this or any other country. The 
Capitals, of Ottawa, won the Canadian 
series and the Crescents, of New York, 
won the American series. On the after

than a half-dozen 
entries from the 
best distance-run¬ 
ners of America 
and Canada were 
received. It was 
a hot day. a day 
totally unfit for 
such a long race;

nevertheless all the starters finished and 
won prizes. After being out some three 
hours ami sixteen minutes, Samuel A. 
Mellor, of the Hollywood Inn Club, Yonk¬ 
ers, New' York, made his appearance at 
the Southern Gate with an American flag 
in one hand and a Pan-American flag in the 
other, and the thousands in the Stadium 
arose cn masse and cheered him as only 
the victor should be cheered. His perform¬ 
ance was certainly good. 

The school-boys’ events received excep¬ 
tional attention, because the school-boy 
element in athletics to-day is an important

the Life-Saving Station, and they were, no 
doubt, the most successful swimming-cham¬ 
pionship contests held in the past twenty 
years. Schaeffer, formerly of the Uni¬ 
versity of Pennsylvania, won three events, 
the one-hundred-yard, two-hundred-and- 
twenty-yard and four-hundred-and-forty- 
yard, making new world’s records. Otto 
Wahle, the Austrian champion, who lately 
arrived in America, gave a splendid exhi¬ 
bition of swimming in the one-mile race, 
making a new American record for the dis¬ 
tance. In this race it is only fair to say a

entries come from the schools, and it is 
only fair that this preliminary training- 
ground of the athlete should be given a 
day. The honors went to the Hill School, 
of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, whose athletic 
interests arc being looked after by Mr. 
M. J. Sweeney, holder of the world's ama¬ 
teur record of six feet five and five-eighths 
inches for the high jump.

dium a tank for the swimming races, these

him so hard, J. W. Spencer, of Colum¬

leader and also broke the American record. 
The final day of the water sports was given 
over to water-polo, and the grand team of 
the Knickerbocker Athletic Club, for years 
the American champions, gave a fine exhi¬ 
bition of the game and won without much 
opposition.

is seen in black and white. In the record- 
book that year among the amateur running 
and walking records from one hundred 
yards up, we cannot find the name of one 
American athlete as a record-holder, all 
the amateur records being held by English¬ 
men, Irishmen or Scotchmen. What a

From those who are not athletically in¬ 
clined I have heard criticism that so much 
money should be spent on athletics. That 
is natural, but to those who have been 
giving up their entire time and life for the 
advancement of athletics in the hope of 
building for the future of our race, the 
amount spent has seemed too little. Why 
should not the advancement we have made 
in athletics receive the same recognition as 
the advancement we have made in science, 
art and literature? By glancing over the 
"Clipper Almanac” for 1875, which was 


as to the nativity of the holders? That 
nine-tenths of the records are held by Amer¬ 
icans. Is not that enough reason for any 
exposition to incorporate a display of ath¬ 
letics in its list? 

It is to be hoped that at St. Louis in 
1903 a Stadium will be built; that it will 
be a permanent one, one that will be left 
to the city of St. Louis; and that they 
will there endeavor to eclipse the good 
work that has already been done, mapped 
out and carried through by the Pan-Ameri¬ 
can Exposition. 






I IIL INCl BA I OR BABY AXI) NIAGARA FALLS.* 


By Arthur Brisbane. 



M EN go to the Exposition at Buffalo 
to see and to think. 

'I'wo features of the Exposition well 
worth seeing and thinking about are 
chosen for discussion here: 

Two vast extremes. 

The weakest and 
the most powerful 
manifestation of nat¬ 
ure's power. 

The falls of Ni¬ 
agara, with the great 
system of lakes and 
rivers behind them. 

The diminutive 
baby in its hot-air 
chamber, sightless, 
deaf, feeble—but 
with the great human 
race, the vast sea of 
organized thought, 
back of it. 

All the world re¬ 
veres the power and 
beauty of the falls. 

Men stand in the 
spray on the high 
banks, as the rain¬ 
bows form and the 
green water sweeps 
over with millions of 
horse-power. Eighteen million cubic feet 
of water every minute, dashing down to 
carve out the solid rock. 

There is power marvelously manifested. 
But what is that power beside the force 
that may originate in the tiny brain of an 
incubator baby? 

The brain is smaller now than half of an 
apple. 

B it that brain may start a work that 


Till-: ACCROACH TO THE NEW YOKE STATE BUILDING 


"ill persist, and affect men's destiny, 
when the falls, working their own ruin, 
shall have dwindled down to an even, 
placid stream without so much as a ruffling 
of the wafer to tell where once the great 
power rushed by. 

Look at the falls 
and look at the baby. 

A mighty river 
flows swiftly and 
quietly until suddenly 
it drops into space 
over a ledge of solid 
rock one hundred and 
sixty-four feet high. 

There is dull thun¬ 
der in the air. a roar¬ 
ing that has not 
ceased for ages upon 
ages. 

The mind cannot 
conceive the force of 
that torrent. Like 
so many chips it 
would wash away 
every vestige of the 
great Exposition and 
every building in the 
city of Buffalo. 

But, if you will see 
it, there is more to 
interest in the little form behind the incu¬ 
bator glass than in all the roaring and 
power of ‘'the Thunder of Waters.'’ 

The difference between the force of the 
Niagara River and that of the new-born 
baby is this: 

One, the river, represents material force, 
the mere force of gravity. The child’s 
brain represents spiritual force, the power 
of organization and of speculation. The 


* My Dear Mr. Walker: 

To describe adequately tbe Exposition at Buffalo would mean to review the history of the world in 
geueral and tHe development of this continent in particular. 

A preliminary feature of such a task would be a description of this land's transition from a home 
of many bison and a few savages, to a nation of many savages and a little preliminary civilization. 

According to Professor Blackie, we should “think" through a book. This well may be applied to a 
national exposition. He who will THINK his way through the Exposition at Buffalo, or even part way 
through, must find something interesting to tell, though he describe but a fragment of the splendid edifice. 

I have selected two extreme features for discussion. 1 hope the bringing together of natural phenomena 
as widely divergent as the falls of Niagara and an incubator baby will interest some of your readers—and 
that I shall not entirely waste the space that you are good enough to offer me. 

Yours verv truly.

power sent here in fragile human forms to 
rule the falls, and other manifestations of 
crude power, regulate nature and do the 
work of embellishing and cultivating the 
globe. 

Have you ever seen a baby in an incu¬ 
bator? 

Look at one now. 

Through a thick plate of glass you 
see a tiny form arrayed in spotless 
linen. Blue ribbons indicate elbows and 
knees. 

The tiny human being lies on a soft 
cushion, under its head a pillow as big as 
a man's hand. It is pathetically short and 
mysteriously still. 

The head is small, the face 
pink and tranquil, with the 
solemn tranquillity of peaceful 
old age. 

The hands are so small that 
a beetle might almost wear 
them for claws. They are 
gently closed. The baby is 
supremely happy and comfort¬ 
able, with the happiness that 
knows no want, feels and 
craves nothing. 

That incubator baby begins 
earthly life in the blissful state 
of Nirvana, for which the 
Buddhist struggles through ex¬ 
istence. 

The typical American mind, 
ever suspicious, watches the 
little creature with growing 
doubt. Is it a real babr, or a 
wax one put there to deceive 


pioaehing in that small hit- 
man world. 1 he babv wants 
--- to be fed. and soon von «j]] 
realize that he is alive. Hig 
face is drawn into odd shapes. 
A feeble wrinkle, inherited 
from some ancient relative 
appears above tin- e\e-. The eyes are 
tightened into knots, the bands an j. rk'd 
up over the stomach- -sole seat of M -ri- 
ous sensation- and a mewing suit . f , r y 
tells the watchful nurse that feeding-bine 
has come. 

He is moved from his nest of heated air. 
carefully wrapped in woolen coverings. 
He is weighed, fed ; s nature intended he 
should be fed, weighed again and put lee k 
to resume his interrupted, sleepy contem¬ 
plation of the infinite. If he does not 
weigh enough, he is persuaded iu various 
ways to absorb more nourishment. IH 
life is regulated, ami, unlike older mortals, 
he is contented that it should be regulated.

Hot air, cleanliness, a soft bed and good 
food satisfy him. 

Of all minds, a vast majority are more 
deeply impressed, of course, by the falls of 
Niagara than by any baby, however interest¬ 
ingly presented. 

We are used to babies, and a majority of 
us see but little in them at best. 

In Niagara Falls the human mind sees 
almost as many different interesting possi¬ 
bilities as there are different sorts of human 
beings. 

The scientist looks at the great force 
going to waste. 

lie says, “I'll harness it.” And he 


does. II is harness attached to the cataract 
now lights the distant city and drives ma¬ 
chinery many miles away. 

The adventurous creature with dull 
imagination sees only danger and a chance 
for possible personal achievement by tak¬ 
ing the risk. 

He says, “I'll go over the falls myself.” 
And he does go over in a barrel, to meet his 
death or to sit proudly in a dime museum 
the rest of his days. 

The astronomer, looking at the earth as 
a tiny speck in space, sees in human ad¬ 
miration of the falls only interesting proof 
of our infinite human littleness.

he would control all the cataract real estate 
in exactly ten thousand live hundred and 
sixty years from now. It would take that 
length of time for the cataract to move 
hack two miles, so that the plutocrat's heirs 
would need to he very patient and pay taxes 
for a long time. Incidentally, by the time 
it shall have receded two miles the cataract 
will, according to scientists, lx- reduced 
in height to eighty feet and will hardly be 
worth seeing. 

It is probable that in that distant <l av 
the troubles of the single-taxer will have 
been adjusted even t to his satisfaction, as 

a natural 
process of 

civilization 
It is cer¬ 
tain that at 
that time men 
will read 
with amuse- 
mcnt of the 
p rimitire 
days when 
their fellows 
harnessed up 
a petty water¬ 
fall in order 
to move their 
engines. 

In that far- 
off time the 
problem of 
conv e vin g 
the strength 
of a waterfall 
a few miles 
a w a y will 
appear as 
childish as the invention of the wheelbarrow 



He wonders that any man should study 
Niagara Falls when lie might study comets 
traveling hundreds of miles per second, 
with streaming tails of fire millions of miles 
long. 

The bride and groom, full to the brim 
with the little emotion which constitutes 
their world, see in Niagara Falls only a 
suitable background for a photograph. 

The groom slaps his chest and says, 
“Our love is as strong as the cataract.’’ 

lie forgets that, like the cataract, his love 
will recede, presumably. 

The student of social problems finds sug¬ 
gestion and 
even ground 
for indigna¬ 
tion in the 
study of the 
falls. The 
earnest sin¬ 
gle-taxer 
knows that 
the govern- 
m ent has 
been com¬ 
pelled to pay 
vast sums in 
order to es¬ 
tablish na¬ 
tional parks 
near the cat¬ 
aract. 

He knows 
that the falls 
are receding 
every year. 

It occurs to 
him that a 
speculative 

millionaire might buy up both banks of 
the Niagara River two miles above the 
falls and leave to his heirs absolute control 
of the cataract in the future. It maddens 
this single-taxer to think that this small 
investment now would enable the heirs of 
the plutocrat later on to own every foot of 
Niagara Falls real estate and compel the 
government to pay ruinous prices once more 
for park space. 

There is theoretical logic in the single¬ 
taxer's views and in his anger. The cala- 
raet does recede. It recedes one foot every 
year on an average. If a man bought both 
sides of the river two miles above the falls. 


seems to us now. Tides will long since 
have been harnessed. The brains then Ijv- 
ing on this big driving-wheel called the 
Karth will have learned tn utilize the forces 
in the great machine on which thev revolve 
daily. 

Intellects are now struggling with tlie 
problem of abstracting electric force from 
coal direct. They will then be thinking 
of the problem of utilizing direct the sun s 
energy, or the power of gravity in our 
satellite donkey-engine, the moon. 

But this has led us from our small, tiny- 
f;i< ed friends in the rows of incubators.

All kinds of little human dynamos lie in 
those hot-air boxes. 

One with a few spears of red hair and a 
verv determined expression at feeding-time 
is of pure Irish stock. If his emotions 
could be translated into coherent speech, 
he would undoubtedly express a desire to 
challenge any baby of his weight in Incu¬ 
bator Row. The nurses declare that he 
tries to light them, although he weighs less 
than five pounds. 

Another, of whom, perhaps, more later, 
is of German blood. 

In spite of his youth, he is distinctly 
philosophical. It is easy to imagine that 


he devotes hours of speculation to a near-by 
shed in the Exposition where scientists are 
experimenting with different breeds of 
cows, test ing their good qualities with vari¬ 
ous kinds of food, and especially their avail¬ 
ability for nourishing motherless infants. 

Side by side are three little creatures 
whose relationship is recognized at a 
glance. These are the Cohen triplets, 
taken by their careful father and mother 
to the home where the best chance for de¬ 
velopment will be given them. 

Possibly you would envy the man who 
would own the falls of Niagara. 


But you would envy much more wisely 
him who shall possess for his own the possi¬ 
bilities of development wrapped up in 
those little Cohen triplets. 

You would possess the possibility of 
wealth beyond the dreams of avarice, as 
Doctor Johnson prophetically said when auc¬ 
tioning off the Bass’ ale brewery. And 
you would possess, also, possibilities of 
power, intellectual and artistic, beyond the 
dreams of human ambition. 

One triplet with the right start, educa¬ 
tion and incentive might give you the 
wealth of a Rothschild and enable you to 
buy, without feeling the outlay, all the 


power of the falls and the land for miles 
around. 

Another might give you the genius of a 
Heine or the admirable moral purpose of a 
Spinoza, more desirable than all the money 
that all the Rothschilds ever dreamed of. 

The third might contribute to your 
powers and to the world a Ilerschel in as¬ 
tronomy, a Mendelssohn in music, or a 
genius like that of Bernhardt in the art 
of interpreting genius. 

Those three little creatures lie in their 
nests of warm air, quiet and dull, waiting 
for the feeding-hour. They are frail, in-

One incubator baby of German parentage 
was studied bv this writer. There is a 
lesson for mothers in that German baby, as 
there is in every incubator baby, and it 
shall be told. 

The Get man baby hurried into the world 
almost three months ahead of time. lie 
weighed three pounds, and doubled his 
weight in six weeks. 

11 is heart was about as big as the end of 
vour thumb, and his liver — as in all new¬ 
born babies — was monstrously large, nearly 
as big as that of a child of ten. If you 
want to admire nature's wisdom, study the 
new-born baby's liver, with its changed 
position in the body and its wonderful 
adaptation to a milk diet. 

That little German infant, like all 
babies born too soon, presented an aspect 
of extreme old age. It was one mass of 
wrinkles all over its body. 

Nature does not waste 
elVort. The baby unborn 
has no need of adipose 
tissue, and the tissues of 
the body, intended to act 
as cushions, protecting us 
from the outside material 
world, are provided only 
just before birth. 

He arrived quite bald, 
toothless of course, with 
wrinkled skin and an as¬ 
pect of unbelievable so¬ 
lemnity. No muu one 


hundred and twenty-five years of age ever 
appeared one-half as ancient. 

HERE IS THE LESSON FOR MOTH¬ 
ERS. 

The baby did so well at the end of six 
weeks that its mother insisted oh iemoving 
it from the artificial nest. 

It was well cared for by a mother of at 
least average intelligence. But it failed 
rapidly, and would have died soon had it 
not been put back in its shelter. 

It suffered, not merely through irregu¬ 
larities of temperature, but through brain 
fatigue. 

Mothers would do well to remember that 
the chief thing in caring for a baby is to 
keep its brain quiet. 

An agitated infantile brain exhausts the 
blood-supply, takes heat from the stomach, 
where it should be, to the brain, where it 
does harm, and kills off millions of children.

'T'lIE nutans and methods employed in 
' the United States at the beginning 
of an exposition project, in connection with 
the creation of public sentiment and the 
enlistment of popular support for such an 
undertaking, make it impossible thereafter 
to build up within it a good business-like 
organization to carry out the work required 
to make the project a reality. 

If a certain number of millions of dollars 
were placed at the disposal of a small 
selected body of men and they were told 
that they could proceed, untrammeled in 
every way, to build and equip an exposi¬ 
tion, the work would be done more effect¬ 
ively, with greater rapidity and with much 
more economy than is possible under out- 
usual methods in such matters, but the 
undertaking would lack those most essential 
elements of success, namely : the widest 
general interest possible in the financial 
success of the work, and public contact at 


all points. These are absolutely necessary 
to the broadest success of such an under¬ 
taking, but they are at the same time the 
reason why it is impossible, having them 
present, to bring together a perfect busi¬ 
ness-like organization to carry out the con¬ 
templated work. This being true, it is to 
be expected that one will find in a great 
undertaking such as the Fan-American Ex¬ 
position many evidences oMaulty organiza¬ 
tion. 

Nevertheless, 1 think fewer such evi¬ 
dences are apparent in this Exposition than 
in any of those that have preceded it. 
This has been made possible owing chiefly 
to the personal rather than public interest 
that has been taken in the Exposition by 
every one in Buffalo (which comes about 
because of the fact that the Exposition was 
financed in Buffalo alone), and the rare 
general confidence of Buffalonians in the 
Board of Directors. These have worked

together as a unit for the past two years, 
and can now look with just pride and satis 
faction upon the completed and successful 
Exposition they have created 

Some dominant sentiment or idea around 
which a working plan can he outlined and 
built upon and followed, must underlie 
every exposition. In the Pan-American 
Exposition this central point has been the 
belief, widely if intermittently existing, 
and especially in the United States, that 
the peoples of the Western hemisphere 
should know each other better than here 
tofore and be better informed than they 
have been with regard to the capabilities 
and needs not only of their own country 
but of America as a whole, and of the 
opportunities existing therein for commer 
cia! activity and energy. This limited the 
scope and work to the Western half of the 
world, and hence no efforts of any kind 
were expended in Europe. With but 
eighteen months within which to accom¬ 
plish the whole work, both of building 
and securing the cooperation of countries 
and states and of exhibitors and the gen¬ 
eral public, the Executive Committee was 
obliged to formulate all of the plans re- 
ipiired, and especially those applying to the 
participation of Canada and Central and 
South America, with the greatest rapidity, 
and success in those directions had to be 
attained or the Exposition would not have 
been Pan-American and would then have 
failed to reach the chief ideal upon which 
it was based. Toward accomplishing this 
purpose the services of the State Depart¬ 
ment were enlisted; a section of the Press 
Department of the Exposition was set apart 
and put in commission for this specific 
work ; and representatives of the Exposition 
were sent to the several countries to bring 
the Exposition personally before their gov ¬ 
ernments. M ith all these elements, a con¬ 
stant telegraphic correspondence between 
the Exposition and the different American 
foreign capitals was necessary, in order that 
delays might be avoided, and thus a much 
larger expense was incurred than would 
have been necessary could the Exposition 
have had another year within which t<> 
mature. The limited time at the command 
of the Executive Committee also operated 
as a great drawback in securing foreign 
government appropriations from each iff 


the eighteen countries represented, uinl ; u 
properly preparing exhibits in each country 
and in some cases the completion of a |i‘ 0 j 
their installations was, through no fault of 
theirs, delayed until July. 

The short time in which expositions are 
unfortunately, usually required to be con¬ 
cluded is a great hindrance not onlv to the 
foreign portion of the work involved |, ut 
also to planning adequately and econom¬ 
ically the different buildings and features 
so as to give them the highest maximum 
latitude of adaptability to each interest 
that is to be cared for by the classification 
of the exposition; because, no mutter how 
expert an architectural theorist mav be in 
such things, there are actual inelastic phys¬ 
ical conditions ami necessities in every ex¬ 
position ' building and ground-plan which 
constantly return to embarrass those who 
have the direction of the whole under¬ 
taking. All of this could be avoided if 
sufficient time were taken in the begin¬ 
ning to adapt the architectural plans <,f 
the buildings and grounds to what it i> 
proposed shall be the definite scope ami 
limit of the exposition, rather than, as 
is customary now, to adapt the scheme as 
a whole to the architect's idealized plans. 
For example, a Machinery building is so 
planned in the architectural scheme of an 
exposition and properly so—that it will 
correctly conform to its surrounding* and 
will harmonize with its neighbors. If in so 
planning the building it turns out. happily, 
to be adapted excellently in even wav for 
the purposes of a machinery exhibit, well 
and good; if, on the other hand, the re 
verse shall occur, the management must !«• 
contented to adapt the exhibit to the btiild- 
ing at no matter what inconvenience and 
expense. It can therefore easily liapjsn, 
and does occur to a greater or less extent 
in every exposition, that the general archi¬ 
tectural plan of an exposition may be beau- 
titul and the outline and exquisite detail 
and finish of its buildings perfect and lie 
_\ond criticism in all these regards, as occurs 
in both instances with the Dan-American 
Exposition, while the scheme as u whole 
may still be deficient in many important 
points. Not only could all these things l c 
secured and a great economy of money be 
brought about, but. in addition, the adapt¬ 
ability and utility of the grounds and build-

In, i's of an exposition would be increased a 
hundredfold if in the beginning sufficient 
time and care were taken to adapt the arch¬ 
itectural plans to the definite, detailed 
purposes of the exposition rather than 1o 
proceed, as we now do in almost every in¬ 
stance, to adapt the exposition to the arch¬ 
itectural plans previously prepared. 

This usually occurs because of the fact 
that the formative machinery required to 
outline and gather together the material for 
the different exhibit divisions and other 
features of an exposition, is evolved and 


all exposition creations, galleries—which, 
while furnishing the additional area desired, 
never give satisfaction either to the ex¬ 
hibitor or to the visitor, and should be cut 
out from every exposition plan. 

While all parts of the machinery of an 
exposition organization must be put in 
operation at one and the same time, and 
kept going at high speed, that portion 
having to do with the participation of for¬ 
eign countries must do, approximately, all 
of its work at the beginning, if it is to 
succeed at all. This requires the early and

put to work so slowly by the cumbersome 
committee organization which is always 
present at the beginning of such a work 
that, in order that the buildings and 
irrounds mav be completed on time, the 
construction of the exposition cannot wait 
this process of organization and reorganiza¬ 
tion. Because of the necessity to rush 
everything forward, demands made later 
for space make it necessary that changes 
shall be made in building plans, usually 
ending in the insertion in a building 
of those most pernicious and irrational of 


careful framing of circular letters setting 
forth, in the languages of the countries it is 
sought to interest, the scope, purposes and 
aims of the exposition. These must go to 
the different governments through the 
channel of the State Department and our 
diplomatic representatives abroad, who 
must in turn be kept fully informed con¬ 
cerning the proposed exposition. Simul¬ 
taneously with this, folders and other 
forms of printed matter must be prepared 
and printed in the languages of the coun¬ 
tries to be interested, giving in detail the

exposition's plans and the reasons and 
arguments which shall best show that it 
will be advantageous to such countries to 
participate in the exposition. These must 
be issued in hundreds of thousands, and a 
large force of clerks must be organized and 
put to work preparing foreign mailing lists 
to which all this matter can be sent, then 
men must be carefully selected, equipped 
and sent abroad to give life and impetus 
to the work of interesting the foreign press; 
and, that this may be efficiently done, the 
Foreign Department of the Publicity Bureau 
must be quickly and skilfully enlarged, 
pictures of the exposition being made and 


and put out by the millions, in every f 1)r]n 
possible, throughout the world. The work 
ing force of the advertising and p rcgg 
bureaus of an exposition grows until hun 
dreds of clerks, male and female, are ,. m 
ployed and dozens of writers and designers 
and bookkeepers are kept at work con¬ 
stantly. Bookkeeping becomes a necessity 
since a record of all shipments of cuts ami 
of every bundle of advertising matter sent 
out becomes essential, in order that a check 
may be kept on the operation of the two 
bureaus and the exposition be able at any 
given moment to know how manv news¬ 
papers have been reached throughout the

ily used, must be put into slips in the 
different languages employed, so that they 
can be found by the foreign editor at his 
elbow when he is thinking of what he can 
use at the moment. In the advertising 
department of the exposition designers 
must be sought out and put to work to

getting under way, rules for the govern- 
merit of the great exhibit sections of the 
exposition and information of general in¬ 
terest to prospective exhibitors must be 
prepared and printed in many languages.

in the selection of men, ami when these are

with manufacturers throughout all the 
countries to be interested. For this pur¬ 
pose, blank forms by the thousands are re¬ 
quired. Selected mailing-lists are built 
up from special sources, covering only the 
highest class of manufacturers and pro¬ 
ducers under each classification head. 

All this work must be done promptly 
and effectively, involving the employment 
of hundreds of stenographers, clerks and 
office-boys. The official classification of 
exhibits must be prepared and printed for 
general distribution, in order that exhib¬ 
itors may know the section of the exposi¬ 
tion in which they will be allotted space. 
This matter of classification is really one of 
great importance, since it is the basis upon 
which the juries of award will later dis¬ 
tribute the medals and diplomas of the 
exposition. Up to and including the 
classification of exhibits at the Pan-Amer¬ 
ican Exposition, this work has never been 
done in a manner satisfactory to all, and 
the work will probably never be so done, 
since the only really comprehensive classifi¬ 
cation of exhibits would end in the three 
following heads: (1) Animate things. (2) 
Inanimate things. (8) Other things. In¬ 
asmuch as such a definition would probably 
not suit any one, it appears fair to assume 
that we shall continue making classifica¬ 
tions as heretofore. 

Transportation questions affect an ex¬ 
position with vital interest, because the 
extent to which the freight and passenger 
rates put in effect for the project approach 
a low and generous mark, indicates the de¬ 
gree of general interest that will probably 
be taken in it by the public. It becomes, 
hence, most important to perfect the 
organization of the passenger and freight 
bureau of an exposition early, by the 
selection of the best-equipped men it is 
possible to obtain for that work. After 
that has been done, it is equally important 
to see that the bureaus work with the rail¬ 
way passenger and freight associations in 
the closest harmony if success is to be ex¬ 
pected, since no one not familiar with the 
actual operation of the great machinery of 
an exposition organization can appreciate 
how close must he the relations between 
the project and the transportation com¬ 
panies of a country, if the anticipations of 
the promotets are to be realized. 


Simultaneously with the other work of 
organization mentioned, there is to be taken 
into account tlie formation of the police, or 
guard, force and of the medical and fire 
service of the exposition. These must be 
thought out fully and an eaily start made in 
their equipment and discipline, so that each 
may be effectively increased as the necessities 
of the occasion require. To bring these three 
important features of the organization into 
satisfactory existence requires an immense 
quantity of detail. Holes for the foima- 
tion and government of each have to be 
framed; the type of each organization is to 
be decided upon; unifoims are to be de¬ 
signed and adopted, and permanent quarters 
planned and prepared. And through all 
this infinite variety of organization there 
must be kept prominently in view the need 
of the most rigid economy, because if this 
is not done in all branches of the exposition 
machinery, the work can easily cost mill¬ 
ions more to carry it out than was ever 
contemplated by its promoters. 

The amusement side of the exposition 
must also be put in motion early, and this 
involves the application of a peculiar order 
of business ability to the problems that 
will arise in the negotiations to be entered 
into with concessionaires of all kinds. 
This branch of the Pan-American Exposi¬ 
tion was most efficiently handled by an ex¬ 
cellent committee, in connection with an 
experienced executive officer, who reported 
to the Director-General. In this work the 
legal bureau of an exposition becomes a 
prominent factor, and just here it is oppor¬ 
tune to say that the woik of this latter 
bureau is not only most important but of 
endless variety and requires a very consid¬ 
erable force of lawyers and law-cletks. 
Blank forms of contracts of all kinds re¬ 
quired in the work of the exposition, agree¬ 
ments or quasi agreements, and ail impor¬ 
tant letters which might at some time be 
construed as contractual should be passed 
upon and approved by that 1 ureau: and all 
questions of policy should be discussed with 
the bureau, since in that way many conflicts 
of authority or with regard to rights of con¬ 
cessionaires and exhibitors will be averted, 
and the working of the whole machin¬ 
ery of an exposition made easier and 
smoother than if these precautions are not 
taken.

While the forces of the exposition thus 
necessary are being formulated, focused and 
put in motion to create and gat her together 
the widely different, phases of interest ami 
the unlocated things and elements required 
to make an exposition, a great and most 
elastic force of engineers, electricians, 
draftsmen, modelers, landscape-gardeners, 
sculptors and painters must have been 
brought together and set at work planning, 
elaborating and working out, under the 
direct personal control of the Director of 
Works of the exposition, not only the broad 
plan outlined by the architeetuial board of 
the exposition but the numberless- details 
incident to the preparation of the grounds 
and the election an 1 decoration and light- 
in” - of the necessary buildings. These men 
will frequently be numbered by hundreds, 
and must supply the highest order of ability 
in each branch of the work to be done. 
Following them come the contractors of all 
kinds who are to carry out the plans thus 
prepared, and, because of the short time 
within which these latter can work, it 
always happens that a seemingly unneces¬ 
sarily great force of carpenters, plasterers, 
staff-workers, roofers, iron-workers, paint 
ers, glaziers, masons, bricklayers, laborers 
and others are put at work; at times in the 
work of constructing the Pan-American Ex¬ 
position these numbered as high as six thou¬ 
sand. Indeed, there were days when the 
different pay-rolls of the Pan-American Ex¬ 
position showed that eight thousand per¬ 
sons were at work upon th • Exposition, in 
all its branches. From such figures one can 
see not only why the daily purchases in¬ 
volved in carrying out such a work become 
a great problem, requiring the careful 
organization of a purchasing dcpaitmcnt 
and the devising of a system of requisitions 
and checks and approvals that will repress 
extravagance in purchases, but also why 
the necessity exists for the creation therein 
of a careful audit system and of a well- 
thought out method of accounting, both in 
that office and in that of the treasurer. 


As the day of opening the exposition 
draws near, two new bureaus must he 
created for the operating purposes of 
exposition. These comprise the depart, 
ment of admissions and collect ions - which 
lets to do with all ticket sales and tliciv 
collection and with the operation of all 
concessions, in so far as applies to the per- 
cent ages or money to la* paid by them to 
the exposition — and, lastly, the bureau of 
awards. To appreciate what all that, has 
been mentioned means in the line of con¬ 
stant. endless, tireless application on the 
part of those who are the directing forces 
of an exposition, it may be interesting to 
learn that the whole period of the life of 
the Pan-American Exposition from its in¬ 
ception to its close will comprise but thirty 
months. This great amount of work, with 
the endless detail involved in its earning 
out, has been made possible only because of 
the application to the problem of the abili¬ 
ties of many persons who had expei ienee in 
similar lines of work, aided by the most 
hearty, loyal and intelligent support of the 
Directors of the Exposition and the ability 
shown by the Director of Works. 

While all this is true, and equally mi th- 
fact that the operation of an exposition is 
now fast becoming a science in many of 
its branches, there still arise each hour a 
sufficiently large number of questions and 
difficulties to tax severely the patience, 
tact and physical rapacity of those who 
arc directing its affairs. No system of < \ 
position organization can be devised that 
can be relied upon to operate effectively 
and properly which leaves open any possi¬ 
bility of something failing to be done be¬ 
cause of divided authority: and the only 
ideal exposition organization would lie, 
hence, one that places every one and 
everything connected with its work, from 
the inception to the conclusion of the 
undertaking, under the absolute personal 
control, direction and unquestioned au¬ 
thority of one strong, guiding mind mid 
hand. 




TUI SOUTH LAGOON'. 


ELECTRICAL PROGRESS DURING THE LAST DECADE. 

By Michael Idvorsky Pcpin. 


TIE Pan-American Exposition in its 
electrical aspect forms a splendid 
termination to the electrical decade which 
bewail at the Frankfort Electrical Exposi- 
tion in 1 Hi) 1 . 

This last exposition witnessed one of the 
most splendid experiments in the electrical 
transmission of power by new methods, 
which had never before that time been 
tested on anything: like a commercial scale. 
Briefly stated, the method consisted in 
employing electrical currents of a very high 
tension, which were generated by means of 
the water-power at the Falls of EautVcn and 
then transmitted over a distance of about one 
hundred and fifteen miles to the Electrical 
Exposition grounds at Frankfort, where 
they were transformed to ordinary tension 
and employed for electrical lighting and 
mechanical power. The extraordinarily 
high tension was not, however, the char¬ 
acteristic feature of the system; it was the 
novel method of using a combination of 
vibratory currents in such a way as to 
produce a rotary magnetic force and in 
this way enable the consumer to employ 
electric motors without commutators and 
thus avoid all the serious objections of 
sparking. This expeiiment was a splendid 
success, according to the opinion of the 
best scientific authorities. Their verdict 
was a powerful stimulus to those who at 
that time were engaged in this country in 
developing the grand pioject of utilizing 
the water power of Niagara Falls for elec¬ 


trical power transmission purposes. This 
magnificent project is now completed, and 
forms, although a score of miles from the 
Pan-American Exposition, the most prom¬ 
inent electrical feature of this magnificent 
show. Every man, both lay and tech¬ 
nical, who goes to Buffalo to see the elec¬ 
trical exhibits there is attracted chiefly by 
the sight that is in store for him at the 
works of the Niagara Power and Construc¬ 
tion Company at Niagara Falls. Methods 
and apparatus employed by this most enter¬ 
prising company form the most complete 
illustration of the progress in technical 
electricity during the last decade, and the 
progress has been a most magnificent one. 
It consisted chiefly in working out the de¬ 
tails of methods and apparatus conceived 
and partly worked out some time before 
the beginning of this decade. The inven¬ 
tion of the induction motor and the so- 
called polyphase combination of oscillating 
currents, due to the combined labors of 
Tesla, Ferraris, Bradley, Wenstroem and 
others, forms the foundation of the new 
system employed at Niagara Falls for trans¬ 
mission of electrical power, and it mav 
safely be asserted that by far the most im¬ 
portant electrical exhibits at the Pan-Amer¬ 
ican Exposition deal with the various stages 
of development of the system during the 
last ten years. 

The exhibit next in importance to those 
just referred to is that of Marconi's sys¬ 
tem of wireless telegraphy. Eight years 








ACETYLENE GAS. 

By Lieut.-Col. David Poktkr Heap, Corps of engineers, U. S. A. 


I N 1836 Edmund Davy, an English 
chemist, secured a by-product to the 
production of metallic potassium which 
would decompose water with the evolution 
of a gas containing acetylene. 

In 1862 Woehler announced that cal¬ 
cium carbide, which he had made by heat¬ 
ing an alloy of zinc and calcium with char¬ 
coal to a very high temperature, would 
decompose water and yield a gas contain¬ 
ing acetylene like Davy's compound. 

Cp to 1892 these two substances — cal¬ 
cium carbide and its product, acetylene 
were practically forgotten. 

In the mean time the modern electric 
furnace had been developed, and in the 
year 1892 Mr. Thomas L. Wilson, while 
conducting experiments at Spray, North 
Carolina, for the purpose of preparing 
metallic calcium by operating on a mixture 
of lime and coal, secured a melted mass of 
dark color. 

This mass, when thrown in a neighboring 
stream, evolved a great quantity of gas 
which, on being lighted, burned with a 
brilliant but smoky flame. 

Thus were calcium carbide and acetylene 
gas first prepared on a scale large enough 
to be of value commercially. 

Calcium carbide is now produced com¬ 
mercially in many places — notably at Ni¬ 
agara Falls. New York, where the requisite 
electric current to produce the high tem¬ 
perature needed (4500 Fahrenheit) can be 
readily and cheaply obtained. 

Ground coke and lime are intimately 
mixed in the proper proportions and placed 
in the electric furnace; the result is that 
fifty-six parts of lime and thirty-six of 
coke will make sixty-four parts calcium 
carbide and liberate twenty-eight parts 
carbon monoxide. 

If the lime and coke are pure, an ingot 
of pure carbide will be formed, surrounded 
by a crust of material less pure because 
partially unconverted. 

Calcium carbide is dark brown or 
black; crystalline and brittle: has a specific 
gravity of 2.22 to 2.26; may be heated 
to redness without change; will soften and

fuse in tin electric iiirnuce; win nut l>u ni 
except when heated in oxygen; and will 
keep indefinitely if sealed from the air, 
but will absorb moisture from the air and 
gradually slake like ordinary lime. if 
placed in water, or in any liquid contain¬ 
ing water, it will effervesce vigorously and 
liberate acetylene gas. 

Calcium carbide consists of lime and car 
bon (Ca C 2 ). In contact with water, the 
lime combines with the oxygen of the 
water, making slaked lime, and the carbon 
with the hydrogen, making acetylene gas 
(C a 1I 3 ). One pound of absolutely pure 
carbide will produce five and one-half 
cubic feet of gas; but, as absolutely pure 
carbide is not made commercially, the 
usual ratio is one pound of carbide to four 
and one-half cubic feet of acetylene. 

Acetylene is a colorless gas possessing an 
offensive odor similar to decayed garlic, 
and so penetrating that one part of gas in 
ten thousand of air is distinctly noticeable 
—a valuable property, as by it leaks can Im? 
known long before they become dangerous. 
The odor is entirely due to impurities in the 
coke and lime; pure coke and pure lime 
will yield pure carbide. When the gas is 
burned in a proper jet. there is no odor. 

Water will dissolve its volume of acety¬ 
lene if intimately mixed, but if the acett- 
Iene rests on top of the water, the top layir 
of water becomes saturated and prevent* 
the gas from penetrating farther. 

Like all gases which burn in the air. it 
will explode when mixed with air in the 
proper proportions, prior to ignition. One 
part of acetylene with twelve and one-half 
parts of air will produce perfect combo* 
tion; the same proportions will also pro¬ 
duce tin* most violent explosion, though it 
will also explode with a greater or less pro¬ 
portion of air. varying from three to eighty 
two per cent. 

Acetylene gas, unmixed with air, is not 
explosive at ordinary pressure, and modern 
burners are so constructed that the air for 
Combustion is supplied after the gas iwies 
from the jet.

u proper burner, is greater than that of any 
other known gas; the flame is absolutely 
white and of great brilliancy; its spectrum 
closely approximates that of sunlight, and 
consequently it shows the same colors as 
davlight. It is strongly actinic and well 
adapted for photography. It, neither heats 
nor pollutes the air so much as coal-gas. 

It is one of the cheapest illuminants 
known — kerosene being its closest rival in 
economy. One pound of calcium carbide, 
costing at the present price three and one- 
half cents, will make four and one-half 
cubic feet of acetylene gas, which will pro¬ 
duce two hundred and twenty-five candle- 
power for one hour. It will take fifty- 
six and one-fourth cubic feet of ordinary 
city gas to give the same amount of light, 
and at one dollar per thousand feet, city 
gas would cost five and six-tenths cents to 
produce the same light as acetylene. 

Although there are many other uses of 
this new gas, the most important and the 
most valuable is as an illuminant, and the 
very fact that its generation', by adding 
water to carbide, is so easy, has flooded the 
Patent Office with a number of nude appli¬ 
ances — the inventors of which did not un¬ 
derstand the properties of the gas nor the 
simple precautions to be taken to insure its 
safe generation. 

At the Pan-American Exposition — where 
1 had the honor to he the chairman of the 
Committee on A wauls to which was as¬ 
signed the examination of the acetylene 
generators exhibited- -a set of requirements 
was diawn up by the committee which, if 
followed, would produce a nearly ideal 
generator. The generators were examined 
and tested, not only according to the di¬ 
rections given by the makers, but also by 
experiments which might be made by ex 
tremely careless and ignorant attendants — 
the object being to find out how nearly 
“fool-proof" the generators had been made. 

Each requirement was given a certain 
weight, I y which the marks given to the 
requirement were to be multiplied. 

The highest mark given to any one re¬ 
quirement was ten. and in order to com¬ 
pute the final rating of the generator this 
mark was multiplied by the weight given 
to each requirement in the table below. 
A generator which complied with every 
requirement would thus receive a total of 


one thousand one hundred and sixty points. 

If an intending purchaser would use this 
method in examining a generator and re¬ 
fuse to buy one which did not receive 
ninety-five per cent, of the above number 
of points, or one thousand one hundred 
and two points, he would lie sure to 
select a safe and satisfactory generator.

has been entirely exhausted. . 8 

ti. There must be a simple method 
of determining the amount of 

unconsumed carbide. 7 

7. The various operations of dis¬

hide and starting the generator 
should be so arranged that it is 
not possible to do them out of 

their proper order. n 

s. The opeiations mentioned above 
must be so simple that the gen¬

skilled labor, without danger 

of accident. 8 

ft. The gas pressure at point of de¬ 
livery should remain practically 
constant, irrespective of num¬ 
ber of jets burning or quantity 
of carbide or of gas in the 

generator. 15

in all parts of the machine, and 
must never exceed that of a 
six-inch column of water. ... 4

11. The pressure in service pipe 
should never exceed that of a 
three-inch column of water, 
and provision must be made to 
blow oil in the air at the 


pressure of a six-inch column. 1 
12. The water capacity of the gener¬ 
ator must be at least one gallon 

to one pound of carbide. 4 

18. There must be a convenient way 
of getting rid of the slaked 
. carbide without escape of gas. 5 


14. When the lights are out. the gen¬ 

eration of gas should cease. . 

15. The gas should be delivered to 


the burners clean, cool and dry. 5 

16. Heat of generator must not exceed 

two hundred degrees Fahren¬

17. When generator is recharged, 

there should be no escape of gas. 5 


18. If the generator is left idle for a 

long time, there should be no 
deterioration of the carbide.. . 

19. The gas holder should be of 


ample capacity and made gas- 

tight with a water seal. i> 

20. The carbide should be automatic¬ 
ally fed into the water in pro¬ 
portion to the gas consumption. 2 


In addition to the above, generators must 
conform to the rules and regulations of 
the fire underwriters. 

The purchaser of a generator should ob¬ 
serve the following additional precautions: 

Carbide should be kept in air-tight cans 
and stored in a dry place. 

The generator should be situated in a 
place where the water will not freeze. 

All pipes should be very carefully tested 
for leaks. A leak can be found by putting 
soapy water in the suspected part. Never 
hunt for a leak with a light, 

I he generator should be charged in dav- 
time, and no light should be brought 
within twenty feet of it. 

It is a good plan to discharge the refuse 
in a sewer, as it is a good disinfectant. 

The Acetylene Building is the most 
brilliantly and beautifully lighted in the 
grounds; it sparkles like a diamond, and 
is the admiration of all visitors. In it are 
generators of all types—most of them sup¬ 
plying the gas for their own exhibits_sev¬ 


eral being the latest exponents uf the art 
«) simple in operation that they can be 
safely managed by unskilled labor; i n f act °

steadily until they need another meal. 

Acetylene gas has proved its ,-ase S() fa) , 
as house-lighting is concerned. 

Among its other applications are: search¬ 
lights for small yachts (the same generator 
also lighting the yachts); mast- and side- 
lights for steamers; car-lighting; lighting 
railroad stations; bicycle-lamps; carriage- 
lanterns; photography; lights for stercop- 
ticous: and signaling devices—the latter 
having recently been improved and made 
light and portable, promising to l>c of great 
utility to the Failed States Signal Service 

It is also used for heating purposes in 
cooking and laundry stoves mid in Bunsen 
burners, and explosively in gas-engines. 

One: peculiarity of acetylene is that the 
greatest light which can be successfully 
and economically obtained from a single 
burner is about fifty candle-power. The 
same power is produced more conveniently 
from what is known as the fourth-order 
kerosene lamp in the- light-house service; 
consequently there is no object in using 
acetylene gas for light - house purposes at 
stations provided with keepers. 

hx pertinents are now in progress at the 
light-house depot at Tompkinsville, Staten 
Island, New York, to determine its value 
for lighting beacons for forty days con¬ 
tinuously without attendance; the idea 
being that a number of beacons so lighted 
need Ire visited but once a month, thus re¬ 
ducing the cost of maint< nance. 

1 he special application in view is at 
Mobile Bay, Alabama, where there arc 
sixteen beacons to mark the channel; and 
if the experiments prove successful, these 
beacons can be charged in one day every 
month, and will need no further attention. 

No device which is both practical and 
safe has yet been made to use acetylene for 
gas-lighted buoys; liquefied acetylene lias 
been tried, and though it gave a good 
light, difficulties were encountered in its 
successful operation, and besides, it has not 
yet been demonstrated that acetylene in this 
form can Ire handled with absolute safety.

O YOU who weep in discontent 

And think your strenuous toil has failed\ 
Remember one who sailed and sailed 
Until he claimed a continent. 


Fixed as the stars his purpose teas, 

And mightier than he knew, his quest. 

He sought an island at the best , 

And found the great Americas. 

When, at God’s word, the eartli wheeled into space, 
Three sleepless oceans stood to guard my place, 
And at my feet, a fond duenna sea 
Watched as I ripened for my destiny. 

In other lands, rude rapine reigned supreme 
While I lay smiling in my maiden dream. 

While other countries hurried to decay, 

The silent Centuries tiptoed on their way 
And left me, unmolested, to my fate. 


Half the old world had grown degenerate 
When Progress came, and woke me with a kiss. 
The sentinel Seas were witnesses to this, 

And God himself gave sanction in that hour, 
Bestowing Freedom as my wedding dower. 

Good Mother Nature gave me grains and gold, 
Vast fertile fields and mines of wealth untold, 
Knowing the spouse of God’s prime minister, 
Supreme and noble Progress, must confer 
Wide benefits upon mankind, and share 
With all who asked her succor and her care. 


The generous hostess of admiring earth, 

I entertained all nations at my hearth. 

Far in the south, my beauteous sister wept 
The monstrous wrongs inflicted while she slept. 
A rude despoiler crushed her in fierce arms 
And robbed her of her riches and her charms. 
Lustful with greed and insolent with strength 
All spendthrift monarchies become at length. 
Spain was an autocrat, inspiring fear, 

And even Progress dared not interfere.

THE AMERICAS TO THE WORLD. 


Fair, opulent-hearted sister with sad eves, 

How long your prayers ascended to deaf skies ! 
Justice walks slowly when her pathway leads 
Through courts of kings, encumbered with harsh 
creeds. 

Yours was the lot to suffer and to wait, 

Mine to move forward, with my peerless mate. 

Behold us in the glory of onr prime, _ 

Astounding wisdom and surprising time. 

We shake Tradition on its tottering throne, 

And from Convention wring a startled groan, 

As some old method or worn creed is brought 
Beneath the sickle of advancing thought. 

We are the educators of the world : 

Our free-school banner, to the winds unfurled, 

Bids all men think. Our bold, corrective press 
Bids all men hope for justice and redress. 

Peace long has been our watchword; brief and few 
Our bloody wars: 'tis thus our glory grew. 

When honor forced or sympathy impelled 
Our hosts to battle, watchful eyes beheld, 

Close following where our conquering armies trod, 
The vast progressive purposes of God. 

He who is mortal must be prone to err. 

Too much ambition in my veins may stir. 

Too generous to be just, I may have been 
(My own excluding, to let others in); 

And too much zeal my wisdom may impair. 

Yet where our banner once is planted, there 

Humanitarianism, cleanliness 

And education beautify and bless 

This slow-evolving world, and aid mankind 

To that best strength which comes from being kind. 

The earth’s true freedom yet shall spring from me. 
I am the mother of great men to be — 

Men who will toil for universal good, 

And found Republics, based on brotherhood. 

When all Americas unite in one, 

1 hen shall we find the Golden Age begun. 

One flag, one purpose, godlike in its scope — 

To give all men the right to work and hope; 

To banish charity, and in its place 
To throne fair Justice in her regal grace ; 
lo make the glittering crowns of idle kings 
Seem like the caps of fools in sawdust rings, 

And hoarded wealth a public badge of shame: 
March on ! march on ! to this majestic aim ! 


THE EXHIBIT OF HUMAN NATURE. 

By Lavinia Hart. 



T HE most exhaustive, the most interest¬ 
ing, the most instructive exhibit at 
the Pan-American Ex . position is the ex¬ 
hibit of human nature, ft 

This exhibit is not ^ confined within 
the four walls of an 
artistic building nor 
restricted to the prod¬ 
ucts of North and 
S o u t h America. 

There are contribu¬ 
tions from e v e”r y 
country of the world, 
from all the strata of 
civilized society; and 
they till the build¬ 
ings, cover the 
grounds, monopolize 
the waterways and 
revel in the Midway, 
till the swaying, 
changing mass of 
color, size, form, qual¬ 
ity and kind tills one 
with awe for the 
grandeur of this hu- 

o 

man exhibit. 

There are i,ypes so 
numerous they make 
the fall-pippin dis¬ 
play in the Agricult¬ 
ural Building look 
meager — so complex, 
the machinery in the 
Graphic Arts would 
in comparison be 
child’s-play to deci¬ 
pher. 

There are the cult¬ 
ured types of the 
East, the crude types 
of the West. There 
are ‘‘city-broke” 
men and women who 
bit of color or another incident; and men 
and women fresh from the farm who regard 
it with wide-eyed wonder, and to these the 
fair is an era, to and from which all other 
events shall date. There are women in 
rustling robes who drive to the Lincoln 


regard 


the fair as a 


Park Gateway and view the fair through 
lorgnettes; and women in short skirts and 
shirtwaists who come in the trolleys and 
get much more for their money. There are 
thoughtful students and giggling girls; 

tourists who vainly 
try to see it all; 
whole brigades of 
shirtwaist men and 
short-skirt girls who, 
with guide-books and 
worried expressions, 
follow the man from 
Cook’s. There are 
brides and grooms 
who are bored by the 
crowds, and crowds 
w’ho are delighted 
with the brides and 
grooms. There are 
strait-laced dames 
who could not show 
you the way to the 
Midway; and tight- 
laced dames who 
could not show you 
the w r ay out of it; 
and fair American 
girls who would not 
know when they were 
in it; and types from 
Hawaii and the Orient 
that make a violent 
background for 
American woman¬ 
hood. 

There is every type 
at the Pan-American 
Exposition that ever 
was known, and the 
harmonious blending 
of them all proves 
advancement in the 
spiritual as well as the material exhibits. 

The first type that greets you is the 
gateman, belonging distinctly to the 
Sphinx species. The second is one of an 
ambitious squad of boys, who informs you 
that a daily permit at fifty cents per diem 
is necessary for your camera, ^ou declare

it s an outrage; but you've got the kodak 
craze, and deserve to pay. Mentally, you 
resolve to take all vour pictures in one 
day. Actually, you bring the camera 
every day of vour stay, making daily un¬ 
successful efforts to evade the squad. 
This type is the detective in embryo, and 
closely resembles a small animal known as 
the ferret. 

Having paid for the privilege, the only 
"ay to get even with the management is 
to snapshot everything in the grounds. 
The first subject that appeals is a little old 
woman whose face is framed in a sun- 
bonnet, which sunbonnet is framed in beds 
of tulips and orchids from a Long Island 
exhibitor's hothouses. The little old gar¬ 
dener tells you her name is “Mary,” and 
she lives between the Exposition grounds 
and the poorhouse, and has one hundred 
and two plants of her own, which she'll 
be glad to give you slips of; but things 
have been running down lately, and the 
pension's stopped since Johnny died, and 
Luc\ s getting tall and expects to go out 
in company soon, so she wouldn’t like to 
go to the city to work; and when it come 
to working in the Exposition or working 
toward the poorhouse, why, the fairgrounds 
"ere like play specially as she always did 
love flowers so. 

Mary is a common type—but Mary’s 
daughter is commoner. 

After Mary and her flowers, one observes 
the Pan-American small boy—the same 
that we have always with us, except that 
he is without restriction, and the air of 
Buffalo agrees with him. He has a way of 
cutting across the flower-beds to shorten 


distances; and the state p 0 li c , 
who overtake him without fie’ 
mohslung the flower-beds, have, 
way of propounding the value 0 f 
tulips and underrating the com 
forts of the town jail which the 
8niB.ll boy never forgets 
state police are a new type to thl 
New Yorker, who. is used to beef 
and brawn on the force. Th‘ 
are long, lean, muscular fellows 
with military bearing and uniform 
and intelligent faces. There are 
also on the grounds camps of state 
troops and a small armv of at¬ 
taches for the exhibits in the 
Army and NaVy Building, go 

the Exposition brass-button girl is happy_ 

and the type she adores gets the adulation 
on which it thrives. No building at the 
fair is so popular with the younger women 
as the Army and Navy Building; and no 
girl is so envied as she who happens to 
know an officer, who does the honors i„ 
one of those cozy little white tents, with 
chests, containing everything vou don't 
expect. 

The building next in popularity to the

discussed ‘ 1 putters’ 1 and 
“remades”; up at the 
north end of the building—what was the 
attraction for the crowd that edged and 
pushed? There were old women and mid¬ 
dle-aged women, neat women and shiftless 
women, thin women and fat. women, and 
they all had housework wrinkles—little 
creases that settle about the eves and mouth 
from little frets and worries. 

They crushed forward, 
trampling one another's 
toes and poking one an¬ 
other's ribs, and their ea¬ 
gerness was of the sort that 
characterizes a hungry 
dog’s regard for raw 
meat. I knew it was a 
household implement be¬ 
fore I heard a suave voice 
say: “Ladies,it is so simple 
a child can use it. Other 
washers tear the clothes; 
ours will wash lace cur¬ 
tains without pulling a 
thread, or cleanse a carpet 
with ease. You can do a 
six weeks’ wash of an after¬ 
noon with our machine, 
and find it as pleasant as a 
matinee. Come, madam, 
let me send you one on 
trial. You look as if you 
would appreciate it.” 


A CAIRO TYPE. 


The woman ad¬ 
dressed was small 
and wiry, and the 
housework wrinkles 
looked as if they 
were there to stay. 
Her admiring gaze 
was lifted from the 
washing-machine 
to the man's face, 
as she said earnest¬ 
ly, “It looks like 
it would be such a 
comfort. ’ ’ 
“Comfort, 
madam? Why, 
our washing- 
machine is un¬ 
questionably the 
first principle of 
a happy home. 
Let me send you one on trial free.” 

“I guess I'll wait,” said the little 
woman timidly. 

“Never get another chance like 
ma'am. ’ ’ 

“I'll speak to John about it.” 

“Does John do the washing?” 

“No,” drearily, “lie doesn't; 
doesn't have to pay anything for 
tubs, either.” 

Whereupon all the wom¬ 
en thereabout, who had 
been following the col¬ 
loquy with the keenest in¬ 
terest, looked knowing 
and appreciative of this 
vindication of their down¬ 
trodden sex, and the crowd 
dispersed in high good 
humor. 

In the center of the Man¬ 
ufactures Building was a 
gathering which defied 
classification. All types 
of women were huddled 
together, rich and poor, 
esthetic and commonplace. 
It was lunch-time, and they 
were engaged in the work 
of managing a free lunch.

from the “finest baking-powder on earth" ; 
free pancakes made from the only pancake 
flour that wouldn’t result in sinkers; free 
soup from the only cans containing real 
tomatoes; free samples of all the varieties 
of mustard, jam and pickles; free sand¬ 
wiches of minced meat; free cheese, pre¬ 
serves, chow-chow, plum-pudding, clam 
broth, baked beans and pickled lobster. 

“Ladies,” said the girl behind the pre¬ 
pared-flour counter, “you all know con¬ 
siderable about sponge-cake, but unless you 
have used our flour, you don't know it all. 
Now, this sponge-cake I am cutting-" 

No reflection was intended and no offense 
taken. The ladies devoured the sponge¬ 
cake, and finished their meal with free 
samples of seven kinds of lithia water, four 
highly recommended mineral waters and 
three brands of unfermented grape-juice. 

“Well,” said a fat lady from Seneca 
County, “that meal’s the first thing I've 
got for nothing since I landed in Buffalo.'' 

I knew she was from Seneca County, be¬ 
cause she had an altercation with the grape- 
juice agent. 

“You folks don’t know how to raise 
grapes,” she said, sententiously; “you 
ought to come down to Seneca County to 
learn about vineyards.” 

“Madame,” said the grape-juice agent 
with a superior smile, “we have hundreds 
of acres devoted to-” 

“Don’t care how many acres you've 
got,” said the fat lady, smacking her lips; 
“we've got the grapes. And our grapes 
jell, that’s what our grapes do. I tried 
yours once—had a crate sent down from 
my sister Susie’s. Tried 'em six days. 
Jell? They never showed the first symp¬ 
toms. On the seventh day I rested, and 
gave the whole mess to the hogs. No, sir, 
your grapes can't jell in the same kettle 
with Seneca County grapes, ” and the fat 
lady took a third glass of grape-juice and 
passed on. 

All of the fifty thousand people who visit 
the Fair daily don’t patronize the adver¬ 
tisers’ free-lunch counters, however, or the 
manufacturers would have to go out of 
business. Some bring luncheons in boxes 
and baskets and spread them on the 
benches or beneath the trees near the Dela¬ 
ware Park entrance; and the wise ones, who 


find it hard enough traveling even without 
luggage, go to the beautiful buildings on 
the fair grounds and take chances on hard- 
boiled eggs at five cents or make sure of 
them at ten. And these wise ones have a 
relish with their luncheon which is all the 
sweeter for being unsuspected. The young 
women behind the counters are of a type 
they’ve long been waiting for—anguiar 
sharp-featured, spectacled, aggressive, the 
schoolmarm type that instilled into their 
childhood all the bitterness it ever knew 

A gentleman of sixty swung on a high 
stool before a counter where presided the 
perfection of this type. Perhaps a strong 
resemblance made vivid the memories of 
half a century back and goaded him on 
For forty minutes he wiped out old sc,res 
and made the schoolmarm miserable. \\ hv 
wasn’t the chowder hot? How many times 
had the beans been warmed? Did the 
lady forget to put tea in the pot? Wag 
that slipshod fashion the way to make a 
sandwich? Didn't the lady know her 
business, anyway? 

It wasn’t the lady's business. She 
would have him understand she taught 
school in the Berk shires. 

The gentleman hadn't doubted she 
taught school. But why was she here 
then ? 

She was working her way through the 
fair, and intended lecturing on it next 
winter. 

The old gentleman looked sorrowful. 
Such a pity! The field was overrun with 
people who were used to it and knew 
how. She probably never would get an 
engagement. It was for the best, how- 
ever. W hat would the dear children do 
without her?—they must love her so! 
But the experience would count. If any 
one should ever ask her to marry him and 
keep house for him, she’d find her knowl¬ 
edge of l>eans and boiled eggs would come 
in handy. How much was it? Two- 
twenty! It was well worth it. The old 
gentleman laid an extra quarter on the 
counter. 

"For you, my dear," he said, “aud 
don’t squander it. You'll need it to 
a trousseau, in case he ever turns up.” 

When he got to the door he turned back, 
and met a glare that fifty years before would 
have frozen him with terror. The old man

chuckled. He had outlived the age when 
birch and hickory rods troubled his dreams 
and smarted in his waking hours. 

Another variation of the sclioolmarm 
type held forth in the Horticulture Build¬ 
er. She occupied a booth decorated with 
spheres, charts, maps and tracts, and tried 
to convince Pan-American visitors that the 
earth’s habitable surface is concave instead 
of convex. The crowd, whose tongues take 
on a kind of Exposition looseness, chaffed 
tu-r considerably and asked vital questions 
at the wrong moment, each time necessi¬ 
tating a fresh start. When the young 
woman at last was permitted to reach the 
end of her argument — which, fortunately, 
no one understood — an old lady asked per¬ 
tinently what difference concavity or con¬ 
vexity would 
make to the 
folks living 
on the earth, 
anyway. 

“It will 
make this 
difference, ” 
replied the 

young w o - 
man: “we 
c a n prove 
that the earth 
is concave, 
while Coper¬ 
nicus never 
proved, but 
only sup¬ 
posed, the 
earth to be convex. 


and much faith was the surest road to 
happiness. I reckon the Lord knew what 
he was talking about.” 

The women laughed, and the men — 
where were the men? All over the fair 
grounds there seemed to be a dozen women 
to every man. 

From the Horticulture Building to the 
Graphic Arts, to the Temple of Music, the 
Ethnology Building, the United States 
Government Buildings and across the beau¬ 
tiful Esplanade with its flowers and fount¬ 
ains, there were women, women, every¬ 
where — old women in sedan-chairs pro¬ 
pelled at fifty cents an hour; tired women 
in rickshaws pulled by Japs at a dol¬ 
lar an hour; athletic women in calfskin 
boots at only the cost of leather per hour. 

The men, 
where w T ere 
they? 

Packed 
like sardines

in twos and 
threes and 
bunches, 
their backs to 
the exhibits, 
telling fish-

Now if you start with 
a supposition, you have no solid foundation 
for your science, astronomy, religion or 
the relations of God and man. But if you 
start with knowledge- " 

“What's knowledge got to do with re¬ 
ligion?” interrupted the old lady. “Didn’t 
the Lord say all you needed was faith?” 

“Oh, faith is all very well.” replied the 
expounder of “Koreshanity, ” “but knowl¬ 
edge is better. ’ ’ 

“Humph!” said the old lady. “You 
ain't married, be you?” 

“No, indeed. ’’ replied the young woman. 
“Do I look it?” 

“No,” said the old lady critically, “you 
don't; and you don't talk it. If you was 
married, you'd figure that little knowledge 


of trout,” said a man with chin-whiskers. 
“Why, up near our camp in the Adiron- 
dacks, we don’t think anything of hauling 
them in weighing twenty to thirty pounds. 

The man with the side-whiskers nodded 
absently and reckoned the trout on exhibi¬ 
tion were as big as most trout grow. 

“The bass are rather cheap-looking, 
though,” he admitted. “We’ve got an 
island up in the St. Lawrence, and the bass 
up there certainly are wonderful! Great 
big fellows, and so plentiful they rise up 
in schools and bound over on the island, 
waiting to be cooked for breakfast. 

“Yes,” assented a clean-shaven boy, 
who was his son, “I've seen em come 
right alongside a brushwood fire outdoors 
and lie there till they were broiled.”

THE EXHIBIT OF HUMAN NA TUBE. 


The man with the chin-whiskers looked 
meditative. 

“Well,” he drawled at length, “I'm 
not much on bass. Angling for trout’s 
the real sport, and the stream near us is 
just packed with 'em—great speckled 
beauties; and I never did see tish multiply 
so. Two years ago I caught a fairly good 
specimen. Managed to get it in the boat, 
but the head and tail hung out both ends. 
It was the end of July then, and we leave 
\ip there in September. I knew we couldn’t 
finish eating that tish before we went back 
home, so what was the use killing it? I 
resolved to put it back in the stream; but 
before doing so, I tied a big blue ribbon in 
its tail. Now, do you know, that fish has 
grown to the size of a human in two years, 
and multiplied the trout in 
that stream by two or three 
thousand.” 

He of the side-whiskers 
stared and his son gasped 
quickly. “But you can’t 
prove all those fish are the 
result of that same trout?” 

“That's just what I can,” 
said the man with the chin- 
whiskers, profoundly. “Ev¬ 
ery one of those trout lias a 
blue ribbon tied to his tail.” 

Father and son gazed va¬ 
cantly into space, and the 
latter remarked presently, 

“The tackle exhibit is the 
finest I ever saw.” 

Another type of man patronized the 
barns and stockyards. His boots squeaked, 
his clothes were light-colored and store- 
made, his shirt was “biled” and his cheeks 
were tanned. 

‘Prize Pulled Jersey,’ ” remarked one 
of these, reading a sign over a white- 
and-buff cow. “Humph! No better'n 
our Bouncer.” 

“S’pose it’s on account of those white 
spots, Hiram?” suggested a woman in a 
print frock, at his side. 

Gosh ! that sjust like a woman. Spots 
can't put no cream in the milk, kin they? 
It sez, Prize Pulled Jersey, ’ and I guess 
it means it s got a pull, sure enough. I 
reckon no sech critter's thet could walk off 
with the prize of two cont’nents, and 
American cont'nents at that, without a 


pull. I ain't been farmin’ forty Vear f 0

cattle when I see it.”

Whereupon Mr. and Mrs. Hiram li n k ei | 
arms and inquired the shortest cut to th 
Midway. 

Three-quarters of the people at the Pair 
had followed the same route. From the 
Beautiful Orient to the Indian Congress the 
streets were black with people — whites 
blacks, Indians, Mexicans, Hawaiians] 
Japanese, Americans; all packed so closely 
together they merged into one composite 
type, whose chief characteristic was curios- 
ity, whose motive-power was deviltry. 

The atmosphere of the Midway is not 
conventional ami a few inhalations produce 
immediate results, which are, first, a realiza¬ 
tion t hat Buffalo is a long W>T 
from home; second, a hallu¬ 
cination that nobody one 
knows will bp met in this 
place, which seems so far re¬ 
moved from America; and 
third, a conviction that much 
knowledge tnav be gained 
from these representations of 
foreign countries and not 
one detail of the outfit should 
he overlooked. 

In front of one of the 
theaters in the Streets of 
Cairo stood two elderly men 
with whiskers, studying the 
posters. 

“Fatima — La Belle Fati¬ 
ma. muttered the one with the green 
carpet-bag. “Does that sound like French 
to you. Deacon Lindsay?” 

N-no, replied the other slowly; “it 
couldn't be French, in the Streets of Cairo, 
could it? French tilings are apt to lie 
pretty wicked. 1 wouldn’t go in, if I 
thought ’twas French.” 

“But you think *tain't French, eh.

“No, 'tain’t French.” 

A long pause. Then the deacon said 
thoughtfully: “Course 'tain't goin' to make, 
any imprint on me, but I’m thinkin* ‘bout 
you. Do you s pose it'd demoralize vou?” 

The mail with the earpet-bag swung 
round with something of a swagger, and his 
<\e emitted a gleam due to Midway inhala¬ 
tions as he said; “Say, Deneon, I’ve been

listenin’ to M’randy’s jawin’ for nigh on 
twenty-two years, and I hain’t got de¬ 
moralized; r guess I’m proof agin Fatima’s 
charms. Let’s go see what she’s like.” 

She was like—but that’s another story. 

There is considerable sameness about all 
the foreign types exhibited on the Mid¬ 
way, and they give a keen advantage to 
the American girl, who in figure, features, 
poise and intelligence is infinitely superior. 

In the “Alt Niirnberg, ” where 
American girl gathers 
in force for dinner 
and nibbles imported 
frankfurters at forty- 
five cents each, she 
looks like a bit of 
dainty Dresden china 
compared with the 
buxom Bavarian lasses 
who warble their na¬ 
tive songs for her ed¬ 
ification. 

At the Indian 
stockade of the Six 
Nations is the 
keenest instance 
of human prog¬ 
ress exhibited in 
the whole fair. 

She is an Indian 
girl of twenty, 
tall, straight, 
bright-eved, in¬ 
telligent, well- 
bred and well- 
dressed. She is 
one of a numer¬ 
ous type, and a 
product of the Female Indian School. 
This particular Indian girl keeps a booth 
tilled with Pan-American souvenirs and 
Indian gewgaws in the Six Nations stock¬ 
ade. Young men who pass that way look, 
then look again, and finally join the group 
of admirers outside the booth. 

One afternoon the booth was deserted, 
except for a youth of the freshman-year 
type, whose devotion was impetuous. 


“Winona,” he said softly, when every 
one seemed to be beyond hearing distance, 
“you’ve got wonderful eyes.” 

The wonderful eyes remained fixed on 
the distant horizon. 

“Winona, I’ve been at the fair six days, 
and got no farther than the tribes of the 
Six Nations. Won’t you look at me?” 

But the wonderful eyes only glanced 
coldly at the ardent face which rose 
above the fraternity pin. 

“It is my wares you 
should admire, not 
me,” said the girl, 
with a very fair Eng¬ 
lish pronunciation. 

“Hang your wares, 
Winona,” said the 
youth; “it's you— 
it's your eyes that 
move me.” 

“They have not 
yet moved you to 
buy. ” 

The girl raised 
her straight 
black brows and 
gave her admirer 
the full benefit of 
a glance from her 
“wonderful 
” and the 
bought a 
pair of baby’s 
moccasins, giving 
them back to her 
with a laughing 
“For your first 
papoose. ” 

The Indian girl quickly grasped them. 

“Ah!” cried she delightedly, “and they 
will just fit!” 

Whereupon she pulled a very dirty In¬ 
dian baby from beneath the counter and 
proceeded to tie the moccasins on its 
feet. 

The original American girl of the 
redskin type was never destined to be 
a flirt.

THE EDUCATIONAL INFLUENCE OF THE EXPOSITION. 

By Nicholas Murray Butler. 


T^IIEliE are too many expositions, says 
l tlie man of the world. He is tired 
of globe-trotting, jaded with sight-seeing 
and bored with life itself. But the tens 
of thousands of men and women—and chil¬ 
dren, too who leave home for a serious 
journey but once or twice in a lifetime do 
not agree with him. To them, happily, life 
is full of interest and of awe. The news¬ 
papers and magazines create for them a thou¬ 
sand curious wants which they do not 
satisfy. They are constantly on the alert to 
learn more about the newest epoch-making 
invention, to see if possible with their own 
eyes, or to touch perhaps with their own 
hands, some of the world’s wonder-working 
machines, or to feast upon typical art prod” 
ucts of mankind, long familiar through 
verbal description and by photograph. 
These are the men and women to whom a 
visit to a great exposition is as full of 
novelty, of strange sensations and of charm 
as is a first trip to Europe. It is for many 


thousands a liberalizing and an educating 
influence. 

The Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo 
seems to be singularly fortunate in the 
satisfaction which it offers to the ear¬ 
nest and intelligent visitor in just these 
educational aspects. It is. in the first 
place, compact, and therefore more readilv 
and more fully comprehensible than if it 
were more complex and scattered over 
wider and more fatiguing areas. Because 
of this fact it makes an impression as a 
unit, and thereby forces its characteristics 
of harmony, proportion, striking sculpture, 
beauty of color and splendor of decoration 
upon the willing attention of even the 
most provincial of visitors. of the art 
ami architecture of the Pan-American 1 
have no technical competence to speak, but 
even a layman in the arts cannot fail to 
notice the deep esthetic impression that the 
Exposition makes upon himself and those 
about him. This is education in the best

sense. It is a stimulus to fine feeling, to 
an appreciation of beauty in color and in 
form, and it is food for many subsequent 
feelings of the same sort. It is one of the 
main "steps by which a whole people get 
an art education. 

It, is said of the ancient Athenians that 
they lived surrounded by beautiful objects 
and that these manifold objects, playing 
constantly upon their agile senses, made 
them a subtly and sensitively artistic people. 
So we Americans, during the storm-and- 
stress period of our life of discovery, ex¬ 
ploration and natural conquest, have lived 
surrou tided 
by ugliness 
and often by 
squalor; not 
so much from 
choice as from 
carelessness, 
or perhaps 
from concern 
for other 
things which 
loomed up in 
our national 
consciousness 
as vastly more 
import a n t 
than beauty, 
which to not 
a few minds is 
identical with 
mere pretti¬ 
ness. This 
ugliness long 
ago attracted 
the rather ac¬ 
rid attention 

of Mrs. Trollope and of Mr. Martin Chuzzle- 
wit, and its reign was so long and so un¬ 
broken that it attuned our national nature 
to ugliness almost as that of the Athenians 
was attuned to beauty. It is not easy to 
trace to all of its sources the newer move¬ 
ment in public and domestic architecture, 
in decoration, in parks and in landscape¬ 
gardening, but surely every such display 
on a grand scale of high standards in all of 
these, as at Chicago or at Buffalo, must 
have a powerful effect upon that great 
formless, yet educable, monster, public 
opinion. We are moving, as a people, 
toward a new and fuller recognition of the

place and value of the esthetic element 
in life, and I, for one, feel confident 
that these great expositions, in which art 
exerts itself to the utmost, are found art 
education’s most powerful ally. For the 
place of beauty in a nation’s life is not to 
lie measured, after all, by the number of 
great artistic geniuses that the nation pro¬ 
duces, but rather by the character of the 
feeling for the beautiful and the recogni¬ 
tion of it which are wide-spread among 
the people. 

Much the most striking and best-dis¬ 
played exhibits at the Pan-American are 

those contrib¬ 
uted by the 
government 
of the United 
States. Even 
to view them 
hurriedly is 
ins true t i v e 
and inform¬ 
ing, but to go 
through them 
with thought¬ 
ful care is a 
liberal educa¬ 
tion in regard 
to many mat¬ 
ters of nation¬ 
al concern. 
Take, for in¬ 
stance, the 
work of the 
Departmen t 
of Agricult¬ 
ure, which, 
with intelli¬ 
gent skill and 
everv resource of modern science at its 
command, is pointing out to hundreds of 
thousands of persons how to develop more 
effectively the country's resources and their 
own, how to detect and prevent destruc¬ 
tive disease in animal and in plant, and 
how to extend the area of certain profitable 
crops. All of these things are illustrated 
at Buffalo with great skill and by concrete 
example. The exhibits are veritable text¬ 
books of a most useful and helpful knowl¬ 
edge, and there is every sign that these are 
being much read. 

Or, again, examine the display made by 
the War Department. Side by side with the

THE EDUCATIONAL INFLUENCE OF THE EXPOSITION. 


modern arms and ordnance, intended fot 
purposes of destruction, are shown models 
of the engineering work by which are carried 
on the great river and harbor improvements, 
intended to develop commerce, industry 
and the arts of peace. One sees, in a few 
moments, what steps are taken to confine 
rivers to their banks and to make fixed 
channels for the safe carrying ot commerce. 
This is desirable information for the indi¬ 
vidual citizen to have, and it helps the for¬ 
ward policy of the government for him to 
have it. The officials having such work in 
charge then find an informed and sympa¬ 
thetic public opinion to rest upon when 
they plan broad and helpful undertakings. 

And so one might detail the educating 
influences which obviously go out from the 
remaining government exhibits; all are 
surprisingly interesting and instructive, 
and—which must never be forgotten- — to 
the vast majority of visitors they are abso¬ 
lutely novel. 

In similar fashion any striking and well- 
arranged exhibit educates. It corrects 
false ideas, fills out gaps in an imperfect 
knowledge and suggests a thousand and 
one trains of thought which do not soon 
exhaust themselves. 

By no means last or least must be reck¬ 
oned the undefined but powerful educa¬ 
tional influence of any attempt to realize 
on a vast scale a high and worthy ideal. 
Bishop Spalding has told us in a keenly 
analytic essay that few men think at all 
and those few but seldom. The average 
life is a life of uninterpreted impressions, 
hastily acted upon. We have, unfortu¬ 
nately, little time to think and ordinarily 
little training for thinking. Thinking is 
apt to bore us; it seems useless, unprac¬ 
tical. These noble buildings, however, and 
all that they suggest, compel thought. 
Why are they here? How did the Ex¬ 
position come to be called Pan-American? 
What thought lies behind the words Pan- 
American? These questions, and a score 
of others like them, are uppermost in the 
minds of many visitors as they journey 
homeward with the glorious impressions 
still fresh and strong. 

To answer these questions, or to discuss 
them intelligently, is to develop new knowl¬ 
edge and new reflective power. A sharp 
pair of ears would have heard some de¬ 


velopment of this sort going on while the 
crowds were at the Exposition itself. The 
fact is that underneath the commercial 
purpose of stimulating trade between the 
United States and the other nations on 
American soil, there lies the perhaps un¬ 
conscious aim of bringing into closer intel¬ 
lectual and ethical relations the republican 
communities, stable and unstable, that in¬ 
habit the Western world. In the past these 
communities, with very few exceptions, have 
known little of one another's life. The 
dependence of the South American repub¬ 
lics is upon Europe, and the people of the 
United States have been for them fellow- 
Americans only in name. Madrid, Paris 
and London have been their capitals, not 
New York and Washington. It is now 
time for the currents of thought and social 
influence, as well as for those of trade, to 
flow more strongly north and south. For 
this, mutual respect and confidence are 
needed, and these can follow only upon 
mutual acquaintance. The South and the 
Central American must be taught that their 
gigantic northern neighbor is a comrade 
and friend, ami not a potential tyrant or 
oppressor; and the inhabitant of the United 
States must learn that his nation's size and 
strength and wealth do not make unneces¬ 
sary or unworthy the serious efforts of Latin 
and Teutonic communities to the south of 
us to* build American institutions of their 
own. If the Pan-American can put these 
thoughts, and those that flow from them, 
into some thousands of heads, it will have 
greatly promoted the peace, prosperity 
and good will of the Now World. This is 
surely education. 

Education itself, as a great national 
interest, has never yet been properly dis¬ 
played at an exposition. It is much 
crowded and limited at Buffalo. Some 
day an exposition will arise in which edu¬ 
cation will have a palatial building of its 
own, as striking a feat ure in the architect¬ 
ural plan as education itself is in the na¬ 
tional life. It will be the most sought-out 
and the best-remembered spot of all, for 
nothing is more fully representative of the 
American people than their educational ac¬ 
tivity and interest. When that fortunate 
•lay comes, perhaps the modern abomination 
called the “Midway" will be purged of its 
vulgar ineptitudes or abandoned entirely.

XXXVI. 

I N the best guest-chamber of the only inn 
at St. Michel, at the sign of the 
Tourne-Bride, Lieut. George P. Dodd sat 
writing at a small deal table. 

It was just an hour since, in the airy, 
comfortable room at Luciennes so hospi¬ 
tably prepared to his tastes by his kins¬ 
woman's delicate and gracious solicitude 
but a week ago, he had with his own 
hands gathered his belongings together, 
the while maturing his course of action. 
This hour he had so well employed that 
there now remained to him but a few busi¬ 
ness letters to write before descending to 
partake of that improvised dinner (ordered 
for three) and thereafter to turn in early. 
For he proposed to rise at a proportionately 
unusual hour; and he had his reasons for 
desiring to be particularly tit. 

Two yellow candles on his table illu¬ 
mined the steady writing and threw 
flickering lights and shades on the sordid 
little room, on the blue-and-gray flock- 
paper of laboriously hideous design, on the 
flaring colored lithographs of Sobieski’s 
last leap and Mazeppa’s classic predica¬ 
ment, on the walnut-wood bedstead that 
looked so much too short, on the muslin 
curtain, blue-white, stiff and darned. 

George Dodd signed his fourth and final 
letter with his bold black scrawl, read it 
carefully over, folded it and sealed it in the 
envelope, already addressed, according to 
his methodical business habit. Even as 
he was withdrawing the seal from the soft 
wax, there came a knock at the door. lie 
turned round upon his chair. 

“Come in,” cried he, in French, and 
tossed the letter on the little pile. 

The door was opened and Favereau en¬ 
tered. 

The American looked, coldly, without 
rising. “Is not this to be considered rather 
irregular?” he asked. “As I informed 
the Duke of Cluny, my friends would be 


ready to receive his”—he lifted his great 
gold watch and consulted it—“to be quite 
precise, at a quarter to ten to-night. It 
is not yet nine o'clock. I am, as you 
know, sir,” he went on, “a stranger in 
your country and I am anxious to conform 
to your own special rules of honor.” His 
lips were twisted into a contemptuous 
smile. “You tell me that my slap on his 
face gives the Duke the right to demand 
satisfaction of me”—here the smile be¬ 
came a hollow laugh—“I reply: I am 
anxious to give the Duke his satisfaction. 
In my country, sir, he should have had 
his satisfaction within the half-hour with¬ 
out so much of this quadrille business. 
But so long as I can give your Duke his 

satisfaction, you know-” He struck 

the table a dry knock with his knuckles 
and laughed again. 

Favereau, who had carefully closed the 
door behind him, stood, his head a little 
bent, listening with an air of profound 
attention. His face was yellow-white and 
lined with two deep furrows from the edge 
of his nostrils into his beard. He did not 
answer; and the sailor after a pause began 
afresh, the jeering note in his voice still 
more pronounced: 

“You can tell that noble Duke of yours 
that I am quite at his disposal. My 
friends”—here he gave a fillip to two blue 
telegraph-slips that lay opened, one over 
the other, beside him—“mv friends will 
bring what is necessary. One of them has 
lived a long time in Paris; I am certain he 
is up to your ways. Personally, I have 
insisted on only two conditions—not later 
than to-morrow morning, and pistols.” 
He halted emphatically; then adding with 
a sort of mockery of politeness, “Mr. 
Favereau, I have the honor to wish you 
good-evening,” turned once more to the 
writing-table. 

Favereau, however, advanced a few 
steps into the room.

THE SECRET ORCHARD. 


“Mr. Dodd,” he said very gently, “may 
I request you to listen to me patiently for 
a few moments?” 

“It seems to me,” answered the other, 
tossing his papers about angrily as he 
spoke, “that everything has been said that 
is worth saying. ” 

“No, sir.” Favereau came quite up to 
the table. He leaned his long white 
fingers on it, and peered with his troubled, 
short-sighted eyes earnestly down at the 
inflexible young face. “Mr. Dodd, you 
are very justly incensed. You have been 
very gravely injured. But allow me to 
represent to you that your vengeance is 
directed against the wrong man. For the 
personal injury to yourself, for that silence 
which you may very well characterize as 
infamous, I alone am responsible.' 

The sailor raised his blue eyes, hard as 
steel, to the elder man's countenance. 

“Am I to understand,” said he, “that 
you have come to me as the bearer of the 
Duke of Cluny’s apologies?” 

Favereau threw back his head and his 
cheek colored as if he had received a 
blow. 

“No,” he answered briefly; and the 
extended fingers were suddenly clenched. 

The American's eyelids narrowed. “May 
I ask, at least,” said he, “if the Duke is 
aware of this ’tween-time visit of yours?” 

The quick flush faded from Favereau’s 
face as quickly as it had risen. He looked 
at George Dodd without a word. A 
deeper tint crept likewise into Dodd's 
cheek, and mounted to the temples, where 
it left an angry red. 

“Well, sir,” he exclaimed impatiently, 
“will you then kindly explain what your 
business is here to-night?” 

“My business!” echoed Favereau; he 
hesitated a second, then he went on reso¬ 
lutely, though his voice shook: “I have 
but just mentioned it to you. It is to 
make you understand that it is I who have 
been the cause of your present humiliating 
situation; and that therefore it is myself 
whom you should meet to-morrow morn¬ 
ing.” 

“Ha!” commented the Lieutenant. The 
veins on his temples had begun to swell. 
“And what about that slap on the cheek, 
sir? If I shoot you, will your Duke’s 
honor be satisfied?” As he stopped, lin¬ 


gering upon the sneer, his insolently measur¬ 
ing eyes caught a sudden vindictive spasm 
upon the worn features of the Minister of 
France. Instantly his whole form w as 
again shaken by mocking laughter, “oil 
oh! I see, sir, I see! The Duke has cer¬ 
tainly got a useful friend in you. Now 
look here, Mr. Favereau”—lie laid his 
broad brown hands upon the table with all 
the weight of his resentment—“I’m quite 
of your opinion, so far: you ought to he 
shot, sir, quite as much as that Duke of 
yours. Perhaps more ! But, for all that. 
I am not going to stand up to you and 
give you the chance of putting me out of 
the way before I have rid your country of 
that—that carrion. No, sir.” He rose, 
mighty : physically enormous, morally 
irresistible, in his auger. “And, more¬ 
over, Mr. Favereau, when I hut discharged 
that duty to society, I will not fight you." 
Favereau's uplifted hand fell. “You may 
live, sir, in your shame, because of those 
white hairs.” 

Favereau drew his breath with a deep 
hissing sound. For an instant, in despite 
of his white hairs, there leaped in him a 
passion so young and strong that he felt 
he had it in the power of his hands to 
strangle the life out of that insulting throat. 
The next moment (and then it was that all 
youth died in him forever: thenceforward 
he was an old man) his heat fell from him 
like a mantle and the cold hopelessness of 
age enveloped him. 

Why should he rebel? How might he 
presume to be angrv? It was true, his 
hair was white and he was shamed. 

“Go!’’ said the American, ami pointed 
to the door with swift and rigid arm. 

With bowed head, -Tuques Favereau 
moved away. But with his hand to the 
door he paused and turned round. 

“Mr. Dodd,” said he, and thought he 
spoke with humility, not knowing that 
never at the height of his greatest triumphs 
had he shown a truer dignity, “have you 
given one thought in all this to Helen?” 

“Have I given one thought to Helen!" 
ejaculated the other, and the sullen storm 
of his rage broke into fluent words at last. 
“You do well to come and say this to me! 
Pray, sir, when that infamous friend of 
yours betrayed his unhappy wife, did he 
give one thought—to Heleu? When he

received under her own roof the—girl he 
ha d seduced, and lived between wife and 
mistress, did he give one thought — to 
Helen? When you and he plotted to 
marry the poor little soiled creature off 
to me, to Helen’s own cousin, to the silly, 
simple sailor, did you give one thought — 
to Helen? Sir, what have been your own 
motives I know not: the fellow-feeling of 
the old viveur, or, God knows — I don't 
wan t to — what other hidden purpose may 
have moved you, incomprehensible to clean- 
minded men like me. Whatever it may 
have been, ask yourself before you come 
whining to me : Have you thought of 
Helen ?" 

He wrested the door from the oth¬ 
er's clasp and Hung it open. And be¬ 
fore his gesture Favereau passed out. On 
the threshold the most respected man in 
France turned and looked full at him 
against whom he seemed, by his own 
avowal, to have plotted infamy. It was 
the look of a soul too disdainful, too 
high, for self-exculpation in the midst 
of illimitable sadness. 

George Dodd closed the door and came 
back to his table, haunted by that look. 

“The old devil!” he growled savagely 
between his teeth. “How dare he look 
at me like an honest man!” 

XXXVII. 

Lieutenant Dodd walked up to the win¬ 
dow, dung open the two casements and 
inhaled deeply. 

A still night, held with the first frosts. 
The dome of the remote heaven wondrously 
star-spangled. The autumn moon, heavy, 
lustrous, low-sailing in matronly dignity. 
The world, where not inky-black, striped 
and tipped with silver; silver-tipped spire 
above the humpback little black church of 
St. Michel; silver-striped road and black 
sentinel poplars with the gleam of a leaf 
here and there like the hint of a spear¬ 
head; rounded shapes of wooded hills, 
mysteriously dark but capriciously plashed 
with light; black, beautiful upspring of 
the dead aqueduct reared against the serene 
sky with the sparkle of stars through its 
silent arches — that was what met his un¬ 
seeing, angry eyes. 

Well might one, looking on such a scene 
and feeling its deep peace steal into his 


soul, have cried with the canon of Marly, 
“Beautiful France!” But this alien, as 
he gazed, struck the rotting window-ledge 
with his strong fist and cried in his indig¬ 
nant heart, “Accursed land!” 

From below a clink of glass and a 
wrangle of coarse, dull French voices rose 
faintly to the ear. Presently out of the 
sweet, distant stillness a growing rumble of 
carriage-wheels came into being and grew. 
The beat of eight iron shoes measured a 
rhythmic tune on the hard road. And all 
of a sudden: 

“That’s from Luciennes, ” thought* 
Lieutenant Dodd. 

The Marquise de Lormes came up the 
narrow, painted wooden stairs, her hand 
on Totol’s shoulder and pausing to sigh at 
every third step. 

Her elder son met her on the threshold 
of his room. Nothing perhaps could have 
been more profoundly irritating than the 
appearance of his relatives at this moment. 

After a fashion pathetically different 
from her usual self-controlled majesty, the 
lady tottered to a chair and loosened the 
folds of the vast black circular dust-cloak 
in which she was enveloped. Over a peni¬ 
tential bonnet an immense veil of black 
gauze had been tied under her chin. 

‘ ‘ Close the door, Anatole , 1 ’ she said in 
an unusually softened tone. And Totol, 
more like a small man-monkey than ever, 
his face wrinkled with perturbation and 
worldly wisdom, silently obeyed. 

Dodd, unconsciously a little moved at 
the sight of a stateliness so broken, came 
over and gently touched the poor lady’s 
hand. 

“My dear mother.” he said, “believe 
me, you can do no good here. Pray let 
me bring you back to the carriage without 
any further words, words which can only 
be painful to both of us.” 

Madame de Lormes slowly turned upon 
him eyes which had shed many tears since 
he had last come under their usually re¬ 
proving glance. 

“George,” she answered faintly, “we 
must do our duty.” Here the corners of 
her lips began to quiver and water welled 
up again to the empurpled eyelids. She 
made a gesture toward the little Marquis, 
and pressed against her mouth the damp

folds of her handkerchief. Anatole, on got it all straight now.” He sidled 
his side, cleared his throat. to the bed and laid a bony forefinger'^ 

“The poor mamaii is very much upset,” pressively on his brother's arm. 


said he. ‘‘So am I. So is everybody. 
Rotten business altogether! But see here, 
old man. You’re well out. of it, ain’t 
you? All’s well that ends well. Drop it, 
won’t you?” 

‘‘Drop what?” said the sailor shortly. 

‘‘Why - " The Marquis closed three 

lingers of his right hand, extending the 
index and elevating the thumb, pointed the 
anatomical arrangement at his brother's 
heart, one eye screwed up, the other nicely 
adjusted to an aim. Then he gave one 
significant cluck of the tongue, dropped 
the mimic pistol-hand, and shook his head 
gravely from side to side: "It won't do, 
George, it won't do." 

George Dodd sat down on the wooden 
bedstead, swung his legs and began to 
whistle ‘‘Washington Post" under his 
breath. After a minute's silence, broken 
only by Madame de Lormes's sighs, he 
looked at her and said with assumed cheer¬ 
fulness: 

‘‘You'll just say when you feel rested 
enough to go down to the carriage, 
ma'am.” Then he resumed his tune ex¬ 
actly where he had left it oil. 

Totol stood, reflectively frowning, his 
thumbs inserted into the armholes of his 
waistcoat. All at once he burst into fresh 
eloquence: 

‘‘What we’ve got to show here. George, 
is tact. Tact, my good fellow. Look at 
me. I have agreed to be one of Charles- 
Edward's seconds, old Favcreau the other 
second. Why? To keep the affair as 
much as possible in the family, of course. 
But hang it all—why fight at all? A little 
tact, George, my boy!” 

His mother suspended her quivering 
breath to hang upon her son’s reply. 
The latter had ceased whistling, and 
with his eyes on the ground seemed to be 
lost in profound reflection. At last, look¬ 
ing up, he said with a slight smile: 

ell, now, really I’d rather like to 
know what's your idea of tact in this 
matter. ’ ’ 

Totol's face creased itself into different 
folds, now betokening a smile. 

‘‘It isu't so easy, you see,” he said. 

I ve had to think devilish hard, but I’ve

You're an American: no need for y ou to

to mimicry, screwed up one side of hi 
face, struck it gently with his hand, ami 
nodded. “After that, you know, i t 
wouldn’t look well for you to remain i D 
the same country with Cluny. (> n t jj 
other hand, if you are gone, don't vou 
know, our C’harles-Edward cannot fight 
you. How could he? So the matter ends 
there, as it began — on fumille. no one the 
wiser. Things remain bad enough, but 
they don't grow worse. See?" 

“Oh. " responded the other, blnndlv 
“Yes. I think 1 see." Then he slid off 
the bed, took Totol by the elbow an( ] 
marched him carefully toward the door 
“You’re a mighty humorous young man.'’ 
he remarked, and opened the door. “Good¬ 
night. Go to bed. You’ve got to get up 
early, you know." 

“Oh, I say," cried Totol, falling dis¬ 
mally from the height of self satisfaction. 
“Eh, maman. that means he won’t!” 

Madame de Lorrnes rose suddenly from 
her chair. She approached the Lieuten¬ 
ant. clasping her hands. 

“George," she cried, ”1 Leg of you. 
reflect. It is a deadly sin to try and take 
the life of another. ” 

I II not be afraid, nia am. answered 
Lieutenant Dodd, gravely, “when I stand 
up for judgment, if I ve nothing worse on 
my soul than the killing of the Due de 
Cluny.” 

A moan escaped tin* old lady's lips. 
The tears began to stream down her cheek*. 

‘I implore you. " she again cried, “for the 
sake of my unhappy niece, for the sake of 
Helen !" 

T he Lieutenant s face became set into 
marble. "It is not I, ma'am, who have 
made Helen an unhappy woman. The 
thing is already done, I take it.” 

‘‘Have mercy!" 

.Vs much mercy as I should have on a 
mad dog!” 




THE SECRE T ORCHARD.

“Fie, fie!' 1 said Totol from the land- 
ino-, pushing the door open and coming in 
again. lie slipped his little thin arm round 
Ins mother's massive figure, looking the 
while reproachfully at his brother. “That’s 
not nice of you, George, not nice at all! 
Never mind, inaman,” he added naively, 
“Clunv has a chance too, you know.' 1 

Madame de Lormes shook her head mis¬ 
erably, and a bent, doleful figure passed 
out of the inn room with dragging steps. 
But at the head of the stairs she turned 
and caught Dodd’s hand. 

“My son, 11 she pleaded, “will you not 
listen to your mother?” 

The American smiled with some bitter¬ 
ness. “You see, madamc, ” said he, 
“when you speak of my mother you are 
speaking of a person whom the late Septi¬ 
mus P. Dodd's son was never allowed to 
know\ I should be mightily flattered 
could I feel that all this anxiety concerned 
in any way the insignificant personality 
of the Lieut. George P. Dodd aforesaid. 
But I know the condescension of the noble 
Marquise de Lormes (whose acquaintance I 
have been privileged to make a week ago) 
could hardly reach so low.” 

With fluttering, palsied movements, Ma¬ 
dame de Lormes gathered the folds of her 
cloak about her and pulled the black gauze 
over her discomposed countenance. 

“Won't you take my arm?” asked 
George. But she motioned him from her 
with anger. 

“Come with me, poor mamau," said 
Totol, soothingly. And, rolling one last 
look of deep reprobation on his brother, 
he proceeded on the gallant task of convey¬ 
ing his mother's tottering frame down¬ 
stairs. 

With a cold smile the elder son fol¬ 
lowed in the rear. 

At the door of the inn a cab had just 
deposited two new-comers. They took off 
their hats gravely, and displayed clean-cut, 
vigorous, unmistakably Anglo-Saxon feat¬ 
ures. 

”1 have ordered supper ami your 
rooms,” said Dodd over his shoulder, as 
he went by them in pursuance of his un¬ 
accepted filial duty. “I shall be with you 
in a moment.” 

“A heart of stone,” groaned the Mar¬ 
quise as she sank back in the carriage. 


XXXVIII. 

The still night had faded and pulsed 
into the gray of dawn. Through the open 
curtains of Helen’s private sitting-room the 
first luminous pallor of returning day had 
begun to bleach the windows. The white- 
tapestried room was dim in the contending 
shades of night and day. The two candles 
in the silver sconces burned dim orange in 
color, the hitherto steady flame in the red 
lamp hanging in the alcove oratory had 
begun to rise and fall with the failing of 
the oil. 

The hour of dawn, to so many the hour 
of death, to all the hour of cold, of mys¬ 
tery, of vague apprehension—the Duke of 
Cluny felt the chill of it in his very mar¬ 
row ! 

He rose stiffly from the hearth, where 
the last vital spark had died, buried under 
the white ash; where, seated the long 
night through, gazing at the dwindling 
fire, he had thought back the thoughts of 
a lifetime. 

He went over to the window and noise¬ 
lessly, with endless care, undid the case¬ 
ments and pushed them open. 

White mist hung over the garden, hid¬ 
ing terrace slopes and park alleys. Its 
faint, sickly breath rose to his nostrils, 
struck his cheek and left its clammy touch 
upon it. 

“It is the dawn,” said the man, under 
his breath. ”It is the dawn. How 
cold!” 

He came forward into the room again, 
halted by Helen's door and with bent 
head listened. 

A bell from some clock without struck 
the half-hour. Cluny looked at his watch: 
it was half-past five. Slowly spread the 
dawn, ever more bleakly white. 

The door upon the passage opened under 
a cautious hand, and Favereau entered. 
Cluny looked at him in silence. How old 
he was growing, poor old Favereau! 

The two men met in the middle of the 
room. 

“It is time, Edward." said Favereau, in 
a low voice. 

Answered Cluny in the same tone, “I 
am ready.” 

After a second's hesitation Favereau 
laid his hand on his friend's shoulder. 

“Have you seen Helen?” he asked. 


37 


546 


THE SECRET ORCHARD. 


Cluny turned his face, with the nobility 
of mortal agony bravely traversed stamped 
upon it. 

“No. I have listened at her door all 
night. There has been no sound from her. 
Blanchette is there. Helen seems to be 
able to bear her presence — it is no more 
obtrusive than that of a faithful dog— no 
one else’s. Since she recovered conscious¬ 
ness she has said but four words, * bet me 
be alone!’ ” 

“It is better so,” said Favereau, with a 
twitching lip. 

And meekly Cluny repeated, “Yes, it is 
better so. ” 

The two men spoke as men speak in a 
death-chamber, in voices subdued to the 
lowest pitch. 

A tiny, pallid shaft of light suddenly 
pierced into the room. Favereau pointed 
to it with significant gesture. 

“I know,” said Cluny. “I know.” 
He turned to his wife's door again, leaned 
his forehead against it and folded his 
hands for a moment in prayer. Not for 
himself—how could such as lie pray for 
themselves? — but for her, that she might 
find strength to bear it all. Then ho came 
back to Favereau. 

“I am ready,” he said quietly. 

Favereau, turning to go with him, sud¬ 
denly stopped himself and caught him by 
the arm. 

“Ready!” he exclaimed in a fierce whis¬ 
per, and ran his eye indignantly over his 
friend’s figure. “Not with that coat, 
man !' He tapped with his finger the 
light summer gray coat and the white ex¬ 
panse of shirt-front. “You want to turn 
yourself into a target for that fellow's 
ball?” 

Cluny withdrew himself from the other’s 
touch and smiled upon him placidly, re¬ 
motely. 

“My dear Favereau, what else?” 

The Minister stared a second, then cast 
down his eyes to hide a rush of weak, 
angry tears. 

And your hand," he went on huskilv, 
“after sitting up all night?” 

The Duke held out his slender hand and 
looked at it. 

"Quite steady enough,” said he, “for 
my purpose.” 

But Favereau gripped him by the elbow. 


“For your purpose! That means, Edw ar ,i 

-’’ His voice broke. “I di(i 

bargain to stand by and see murder do n 
upon you.” 

“Not murder—justice.” 

Faveroau’s head fell upon his breast 
Once more he moved to the door. onc 
more he stopped. 

“I have ordered,” he said, “ a CU{) ()f 
coffee for you. You will drink th at >■ 
His eyes were pleading. 

Cluny, who, with brow held aloft an ,j 
abstracted gaze, had reached the threshold 
seemed to bring himself back with an effort 
from his far thoughts tis he turned to an¬ 
swer him. 

“Thanks, old friend.” His voice had 
something of its old natural note instead 
of the toneless whisper in which he had 
hitherto spoken. “To please you 1 would 
drink it, that or anything else, and pledge 

our friendship a last time. But”_again 

his eyes fixed <>n Unearthly distant-._ 

want to go fasting to this new sacrament.” 

“This new sacrament?” 

“The sacrament of death," said Clunv 

Favereau looked at him. He had loved 
Cluny all his life, in his beautiful adoles¬ 
cence and his foolish manhood, and loved 
him, rebuking, disapproving, without hope 
without respect. And had he known him 
so little? This, then, was the real Clunv, 
the “better self” that Helen loved! He 
was going to death like the son of a king. 
Yesterday it had seemed to him, in some 
horrible wav, as if his friend s soul were 
already dead and only the body left living. 
Now, on his way to that bodily dissolution 
which they both instinctively felt was 
awaiting him. Cluny’s soul so' dominated 
his mere humanity that it was as if already 
freed from its gross earthly ties, already 
spreading its wings for a flight, 

“Do you think she would have forgiven 

if I had lived?’’ said Cluny, without 
looking up. 

So completely had he already expired to 
himself that it was quite unconsciously he 
spoke of himself as a thing of the past 
when he whispered the question. 

Profoundly startled, profoundly troubled, 
favereau stammered miserablv. could find 
no words. 

Cluny gave u deep sigh. “Let ns go.” 
said he. 



THE SECRET ORCHARD.

XXXIX. 

Her “missie” was asleep. Blanchette 
had sung Helen to slumber at last, as in 
those never-forgotten days of yore when 
her foster-babe lay upon her faithful bosom. 

The mulatto rose noiselessly from her 
seat by the bed and, without hushing the 
soft, crooning song that had not been silent 
on her lips the whole night through, bent 
to look as well as she could in the dim 
light of the night-lamp. 

Helen's breath came in regular sweeps; 
one long, lovely hand lay relaxed on the 
sheet; under the shadow of her heavy hair 
the peace of sleep, which is next to the 
peace of death, had at last settled on the 
Avan face. 

Still crooning, Blanchette drew back, 
crossed the room on tiptoe, opened the 
door noiselessly, and, leaving it a hair’s- 
breadth ajar, crept into the sitting-room, 
her song a little louder now lest the sleeper 
should wake for the sudden want of her 
lullaby. 

“ Old missie act de foolest part, 

And die for a man dat broke her heart. 

Look away, look away, away." 

Thus went the wailing tune, in the pa¬ 
thetic negro voice, breaking olf, now into 
a sort of trail of subdued sound, now into 
a long yawn, as the dusky creature moved 
about the room in her dumb list-shoes. 
She lit the spirit-lamp on Helen’s un¬ 
touched tea-tray of the night before, intent 
on making a refreshing cup for her mis¬ 
tress against a possible early waking. 

“ Look away, look away, away," 

sang Blanchette, and stretched herself and 
yawned. 

Misty sunshine avos now flooding in hor¬ 
izontal sheets through the open window. 
She caught sight of the two candles still 
flaring in their sockets and arrested her 
song to blow them out. 

At the same instant the far-off crack of 
two shots, almost simultaneous, rang from 
some glade in the park below. Blanchette 
listened for a moment indifferently, then 
took up her monotonous chant once more: 

** Then X wish I was in Dixie . . . 

Hurray, hurray! *’ 

The passage door creaked and opened. 
Madame Rodriguez, wrapped in a dressing- 


gown, her little face dratvii and ashen- 
colored, crept shivering into the room. 

. "My!” she cried, breaking into a run. 
"I am glad to see a human face, if it is 
only a colored one! Blanchette, I’m scared ; 
I never was so scared in all my life !” 

Blanchette had stared at the new-comer 
open-mouthed. But when the voice was 
raised, she disengaged her hand to clap it 
unceremoniously over the speaker’s lips. 

“Hush, hush, hush, you wake missie! 
She only just gone off in lobliest sound 
sleep!” 

Nessie started. With a nod she ad¬ 
vanced on tiptoe to Helen’s door, listened 
for a moment, then, again nodding at 
Blanchette, she closed it with such infinite 
care that not even a click was heard; then 
she ran back. 

“Did you hear those shots?” she whis¬ 
pered. 

Blanchette was peering into the kettle. 
“Reckon that keeper fellow popping round. 
Hope he not go for to Avake my missie.” 

Nessie seized her with cold fingers. 
“Where is the Duke?” 

Blanchette lowered the kettle-lid to stare 
with round eyes. 

“Lor’ a mussy! I dunno, Ma’am Rod¬ 
riguez.” Her dark face became filled with 
the pitiful, uncomprehending trouble of a 
child. “Sho’ dis has been de Stranges’ 
night!” 

Restlessly Madame Rodriguez Avent to 
the window and leaned out; restlessly she 
came back, sat down by the table, her 
hands catching at the loose masses of her 
hair. 

“Oh, those shots, those shots!” She 
sprang to her feet, her face suddenly livid. 
"Blanchette, something has happened ! My 
God, and Helen is asleep!” 

The woman turned upon her fiercely. 
“Don’t Avake my missie!” 

‘ ‘ No, no, ’ ’ cried Nessie, in a sort of 
sobbing whisper. “God help her. let her 
sleep! Hush! Don’t you hear?” Once 
more she gripped Blanchette hv the wrist. 
“Don’t you hear? They’re coming back !” 

The healthy copper color of the mu¬ 
latto's cheek turned suddenly gray. In¬ 
fected by the other’s fears, she stood 
frozen, striving to catch the approaching 
sound of the unknown calamity. There 
was indeed a murmur of voices on the

terrace patli and a curious, steady, muffled 
tramp of feet. Then silence. 

Still clutching each other, the women 
listened. Now there came a step upon the 
stairs. Now it was coming down the pas¬ 
sage. The door was opened, Favereau en¬ 
tered. 

One look at his face was enough for 
Nessie: she staggered forward with a 
husky cry. 

“Oh, Monsieur Favereau, the Duke!” 
Favereau lifted his hand and let it fall 
without a word. Nessie covered her face. 
But Favereau had come up to her and was 
now speaking rapidly, earnestly: 

“He has asked to be brought here. Here, 
do you understand me? Lebel is doing 
what he can, but it is only a question of 
minutes. . . . Madame Rodriguez, 

are you listening? Some one must prepare 
Helen.” 

Here Blanchette thrust her large, gray, 
bewildered face between them, with but 
one thing clear in her childlike brain: 
“Missie asleep!” 

“There is no time to lose,” insisted 
Favereau. “The minutes . . . ”— 

a spasm contracted his face, his voice 
broke, but he went on—“the minutes are 
counted. Madame Rodriguez, you are her 
friend—will you tell Helen?” 

She beat him off with frantic little 
hands. “I? Oh, I couldn't do it! Mon¬ 
sieur Favereau, I couldn't do it. Don’t 
ask me!” 

favereau looked at her, cowering and 
fluttering, with angry, despairing e 3 r es. 

“Her aunt, then. Where is she?’’ he 
urged. 

At that moment Madame de Lormes in 
person answered the question. Still in the 
clothes of the previous evening, she en¬ 
tered, stately, erect, her large features set 
like a mask of yellow wax. 

Madame, said Favereau, turning upon 
her, “you have heard?” 

The old lady trembled, yet stood with 
uplifted head. 

“My son?” 

“No.” Again the bitter spasm dis¬ 
torted Monsieur Favereau’s face. “The 

I)ll ^ e • • • he shot in the air. Your 

son's bullet was aimed but too well.” 

Madame de Lormes seemed to break to 
pieces. She fell into a chair, covering her 


countenance with the folds of her l ac *

“No, it’s the Duke, the p 00 r , 1 ,

de Lormes vehemently by th e eU * 
‘‘you’ve got to doit; you've ,. ot

Favereau bent down on the other side 
“Madame Rodriguez is right,” he urmL 


there is not a moment to lose if n ( .|p (1 j‘ 
to say good-by to her husband.” 

The Marquise gathered herself together 
and suddenly rising, faced them in majesty 
and anger. * 

“And you expect me to be the one to 
tell my unhappy niece that my son has 
killed her husband?” 

A long crv broke from Blanchette, she 
clapped her hands together. 

Massa killed! Massa we loved so_ 

our good, lovely massa!” 

All rushed to silence her, too late! Hel¬ 
en’s voice from the inner room was heard 
calling: 

“Blanchette!” 

Had those gentle accents been the trump 
of doom, they could not have struck greater 
consternation. Nessie burst into uncon¬ 
trolled sobs and fled. Madame de Lormes, 
again veiling her face with the dignified 
gesture of a Roman matron, passed out in 
her wake. 

Favereau stood a second in a mortal hes¬ 
itancy. Then, crying to the old nurse, 
“Keep her quiet a moment, I'll send the 
doctor better still, the canon ; he must be 
here by this, ” he too took his coward’s 
flight. 

O Christ in heaven!” exclaimed the 
floor mulatto, again striking her palms to¬ 
gether. “What shall I say to missie?” 

Once more came the voice from within 
in louder cadence: 

“Blanchette!”

I he folds of her white morning wrapper 
falling in long statuesque lines about her, 
Helen advanced wearily into the room. 

“Is it only you, Blanchette?” she asked. 
"I thought I heard voices.” She let her¬ 
self fall into a chair as she spoke and

leaned her brow on both hands. Then 
without looking up she added, “Tell your 
master that I want to see him.” 

A deep sigh escaped her lips. Within 
her her heart was crying out, “The whole 
n i<rht has passed, the sun has already risen, 
and he does not yet know that I have for¬ 
given !” 

Her temples throbbed. Shattered by 
the mental shock, there was but one idea 
dominant amid the whirling sadness of her 
thoughts: that Cluny must be in sore 
trouble, that he needed her. 

All at once she became aware that her 
order was not being obeyed. 

“Blanchette,” she repeated, “did you 
not hear? Go and fetch your master.” 

The woman uttered a loud, sobbing wail, 
and coming behind her mistress caught her 
head in her arms. 

“Oh, missie! Honey missie, lie on poor 
old black mammy's bosom as you used to! 
Oh, Lordy, Lordy, dat it should be me to 
break her heart!” 

All her vigor of mind and body came 
back to Helen at this hint of new calamity. 
She sprang to her feet. 

“What! What! Your master? Blan¬ 
chette, what is it? Speak, I order you!” 

“Massa's some hurt, missie,” sobbed the 
nurse. “Massa and Massa Dodd they go 
shooting, I ’spect . . . and oh, Lordy, 

woe de day!” 

She fell upon her knees and hid her poor 
convulsed countenance in the folds of the 
Duchess’ robes. Helen stood still a second, 
rigid; then she gave a rending cry: 

“Ah, and I was asleep! Where is he?” 
Fiercely she fought against the clinging, 
loving hands that caught round her knees. 
She had broken from their hold and was 
rushing forward, when she saw Doctor 
Lebel before her. 

He Avas standing, looking at her, his 
spectacles pushed up high on his frowning 
forehead; with finger and thumb he was 
wringing his nether lip. 

“Doctor—Cluny?” The question died 
away on her lips as her eyes fell upon his 
face. “Oh, is it as bad as that—is it as 
bad as that!” 

She reeled and he caught her. 

“For God's sake,” he cried, “don't 
give way now; he wants you.” 

“He wants me.” She steadied herself. 


“No, I shall not give way now. Don't 
be afraid. I am strong.” 

I he doctor peered at her keenly. 
"That’s right, that’s a brave woman! 
They are bringing him here. Keep up; 
it won’t be for lonsr.” 

He hurried out of the room and left- her 
standing. With eyes fixed straight before 
her upon a vision of immeasurable sorrow, 
slowly she repeated: 

“It won’t be for long.” 

They were carrying him in. The major- 
domo. with the difficult tears of age stream¬ 
ing down his face, was at the head; Jean, 
sobbing out loud, at the feet. They had 
laid him on a stretcher roughly made out 
of a hurdle covered with cloaks; under his 
head they had placed a cushion of purple 
silk, and over the long, still limbs they had 
lightly thrown a purple plush rug. His 
eyes were closed; his face, with the stamp 
of death upon it, was serene. They gently 
set him down at Helen’s feet. 

The doctor stood gazing at him for a 
second; then he motioned the servants 
away, looked at Helen again searchingly, 
then drew back into the window recess. 

Blanchette had crouched into a corner 
and was rocking herself, moaning under 
her breath, her doglike gaze fixed upon her 
mistress. The misty day had brightened 
into glory, and sunshine was now stream¬ 
ing in upon them. 

Cluny opened his eyes. “Helen.” 

Helen slowly fell on her knees by his 
side. “My beloved!” 

“I can’t lift my hand, Helen. Will 
you take it—the hand with the wedding- 
ring?” His voice was very faint, but he 
spoke naturally, simply. She took his 
hand between both hers. With difficulty 
lie moved his head a little nearer to her. 

“Are you holding my hand, Helen?” 

“Yes, Cluny.” 

“Mv wife!” These words he said very 
clearly, almost loudly, and then there was 
a pause. “Where am I to begin?” he 
went on. a look of trouble gathering upon 
his face. “I don't know—and the end is 
so soon!” 

Her love brooded over him like the 
mother-bird’s over its young. As if speak¬ 
ing to a little child: 

“I know everything you want to say,” 
she whispered; “say nothing.”

the secret orchard. 


His voice grew fainter, his eye dim. 
“And I, who would have given my life to 
save you a tear—I have no words, hor- 
give. ” 

Helen cried back to him, “I love you!” 

He went on, ever more faintly : ‘ It is 
right as it is — death expiates. W hat do 
you say ? I cannot hear. 

Closer she bent to him, laid her cheek 
on the pillow beside him. 

“I love youl” 

“There must be mercy with the Hod 
who made you." 

He spoke wanderingly, his eyes dimly 
seeking some distant vision. 

The Duchess rose to her feet. “He is 
faint,” she exclaimed with a sharp cry. 
“Doctor, give him something, quick!" 

Lebel hurried over, stooped down, raised 
himself again and shook his head. 

“Givehim something!" repeated Helen, 
fiercely. 

The doctor patted her shoulder. “Keep 
up, child, keep up — a very little while 
longer. ” 

“It is the end!” said Cluny. His voice 
rose wdth sudden strength. “Let me be 
brought into your room. And let us be 
alone. Let me be alone —alone with you 
and God. Helen, you have always done 
everything for me: offer up my soul, I am 
going. ” 

The doctor ran out to call in the waiting 
servants. Helen herself opened the great 
folding doors between the two rooms. She 
came back and again took up her hus¬ 
band’s inert hand, just as, under Lebel’s 
directions, the servants were lifting the 
stretcher. With a supreme effort Cluny 
turned his head to look at her with eyes 
growing rapidly blind. 

“Your room,” he whispered. “Ah, 
Helen, it is all over.” 

“Don’t touch him!” ordered Lebel. 
“Lay the stretcher on the bed. There, 
that is right.” 

The servants filed out; the doctor fol¬ 
lowed them, closing the doors with care 
behind him. His hand was still on the 
lock when in rushed the canon, his white 
hair disordered, in full vestments. Lebel 
hurried up to him. 

Breathlessly the priest spoke: “I was in 
the middle of my mass'. I came as soon 
as I could leave the altar.” He looked 


round him in agony. “Am I too l a t e ?" 

“No,” said the doctor, his face work 
ing. “No; but only just in time. Hurry 
man, hurry 1 I’ve done all I could j 
can do nothing more. It is—it i 8 Vo . 
turn now.” 

The single note of the chapel bell 0 f 
Luciennes floated in through the window 

“Where is he?” cried the canon, b e ’ 
wildered. 

The doctor seized him by the elbow 
“In her room. Hurry!” Ho opened th,'. 
door, pushed .his old friend in and closed 
it again behind him. Again the bell note 
was heard: first the single warning stroke 
then the heat of the plaintive vibration 
dying reluctantly into silence. 

The doctor started. “These cursed me¬ 
dieval customs — as if life were not sad 
enough already!” he wailed within him¬ 
self. 

Up went finger and thumb to his Up. 
He stood by the door, bitterly waiting. 

LXI. 

Led by Madame de Lormes. the house¬ 
hold of Luciennes, with the murmur, as it 
might be, of many waters, came trooping 
into the room which was the antechamber 
of death—some as yet scarce dressed, with 
liewildered, sleepy stare ; the Knglish coach¬ 
man with impassive face; a couple of game¬ 
keepers with gipsy .-.kins and wild, wood¬ 
land eyes; kitchen-maids from whose round 
cheeks not even the rumor of death had 
been able to scare the colors. At the end 
of the long stream, a thin, shrinking figure 
with faltering steps and white face marked 
with suffering — all that a man's passion 
had left of her who had once been well 
suited with the name of Rose! Reside her. 
his short-sighted gaze fixed like tliat of 
one walking in his sleep, came Favereau. 
And finally, with a patter of little fright¬ 
ened feet, a flutter of garments and flying 
sobs, Xessie Rodriguez again. She vehe¬ 
mently pushed her way Ik* tween them all, 
crying: 

“Oh, will no one stop that dreadful 
l>ell!” 

“Hush!" said Madame do Lormes, re¬ 
buking. “Silence!" ordered she. turning 
to the whispering servants. '"It is the 
passing-bell: on your knees, all of you, 
and pray for the soul that is going.” 


THE SECRET ORCHARD. 


55i 


She swept up to the table and knelt 
down first, facing the room. The servants, 
fallin"' into a circle, followed her example. 
Favereau, with a sudden failure of his self- 
control, fell upon his knees too against a 
chair, and wrung his clasped hands above 
his head. The doctor still stood at Helen’s 
door. 

Three times the note of the passing-bell 
dropped into the deep silence, faded away 
tremulously. The doctor’s hands crept to 
his ears as if to stifle the sound, then 
slowly, like one impelled by an unseen 
force, he too sank on his knees, folded his 
rugged fingers and bent his head. 

Over the murmur of praying lips a voice 
weeping and wailing in the distance pen¬ 
etrated into the room. 

The old housekeeper exchanged a terri¬ 
fied look with the majordomo, rose pain¬ 
fully from her knees and stepped out with 
ponderous precaution. There was a shrill 
scream on the threshold, and then, her 
baby curls wild, a dark cloak Hung over 
the white nightgown, her feet bare, Joy 
broke in upon them, striking right and 
left at those that tried vainly to arrest 
her. 

“Where is he?” she shrieked. “I will 
go to him. If he is dying, as you say, 
then I must go to him!” 

All rose from their knees. There was 
an instinctive rush to place a living barrier 
before the door of the death-room. 

“Girl,” said Madame de Lormes, ad¬ 
vancing with fierce menace upon her— 
‘‘girl, have you no decency?” 

At the same instant Nessie Rodriguez 
caught the struggling figure by the arm. 

“Come away, for the Lord's sake, you 
—you who brought all this about 1 Go 
and hide your face and weep alone.” 

But Joy wrenched herself free with 
furious gesture. 

“Let me go, I say! What do I care for 
any of you? You fools, you let him go 
to his death without lifting a finger; him, 
that man who was a prince among you, 
whose hand none of you was worthy to 
touch—you let him go and be murdered!” 
Her voice rose into a scream. “What do 
I care for any of you? Let me go!” 

The folding doors were pushed apart 
and Helen appeared, supporting herself 
with a hand on each. 


She stood, looking straight before her; 
the smallest sound was hushed among them 
all. Her white lips parted: 

“Stop the bell.” 

First it ran in awe-struck whisper from 
mouth to mouth, “The master's dead, the 
master’s dead, the Duke is dead.” Then 
it broke forth in momentary clamor. Joy 
fell on the floor in a heap as if struck 
down. 

“Dead, dead!” 

They began to huddle together and slink 
away, these honest serving-folk who, 
distantly or closely, had loved their mas¬ 
ter, and knew not how to bear themselves 
where death, that most ordinary of visitors, 
had come in such extraordinary fashion. 
One of the gamekeepers, turning at the 
door, bent his knee and made the sign of 
the cross as if in church. 

Lebel, with a scarlet face of trouble, cast 
one look at Helen’s motionless figure, then 
he whispered hastily to Madame de Lormes: 

“Get that girl away before the Duchess 
sees her.” 

Madame de Lormes approached the 
crouching figure and, bending over it, in 
a hissing undertone hurled her ban: 

“Out of this room ! Out of this house! 
You have made a widow of your bene¬ 
factress, a murderer of my son! Have you 
not done enough? Back to where you 
came from, back to the streets—accursed 
that you are!” 

From the huddled heap on the floor two 
savage dark eyes looked up for a second; 
then on hands and knees Joy crept a step 
away, a step nearer the inner chamber. 
Now Nessie darted at her. 

“If Helen sees her it will just kill her! 
Come with me,” she cried, gripping the 
thin shoulder; “I'll take you - ” 

“Where would you take me?” asked 
Joy, in a toneless voice. 

“Where? I don’t know. To some 
house — some house of penance where they 
receive such as you.” 

As she spoke, Nessie strove to drag the 
girl from the floor, and Joy gave a sharp 
cry, like a hurt child. At the sound Helen 
started and seemed to wake. She looked 
round upon the room, at the group, at Joy, 
and the marble stillness of her face became 
troubled as with a yet hardly realized hor¬ 


ror. 



552 


THE SECRE T ORCHARD. 


“Out! out!” again whispered Nessic in 
Joy’s ear. 

“Let her be carried away, ’’ said Madame 
de Lormes, loudly. “Call back (lie men!" 

“Stop!” cried the Duchess, in a loud, 
clear voice. She threw back the doors 
and the bedroom lay disclosed, its cur¬ 
tained blackness illumined by the lighted 
candles at the head of the bed upon which 
lay (he motionless figure under the purple 
folds, with just one ivory hand catching 
the light. The canon’s white head shone 
with a silver aureole as he knelt by the 
side, his elbows on the hurdle, holding the 
crucifix aloft in his clasped hands; his 
voice rose and fell in low. ardent supplica¬ 
tion. 

Helen advanced and looked a second 
with majestic reproach upon them all. 
Then she spoke. 

“Is there not one Christian among you?" 

They fell back before her in awe-struck 
silence. She turned her eyes upon the 
prostrate girl: 

“Child!” 

It was a cry from the depths of her 
betrayed heart. 

Joy crept nearer on her hands and knees, 
caught up the fold of ‘Helen's garments, 
laid her head upon her feet, and at last 
broke into sobs and tears. 

Thereupon Favereau, white ghost, of 
himself, came forward from his hidden 
corner. 

“Go, go!" cried he, driving the specta- 

That Da 

XLII. 

The doctor came down the steps of the 
house to the terrace and walked slowly up 
to the canon, who was waiting for him bv 
their favorite corner of the balustrade. 

On this cold November afternoon, faded 
was the glorious panorama they had gazed 
upon together a month ago, faded and 
desolate. Brown or gray now lay fields 
and woods under a lowering sky, with dull 
rack sailing low before a driving wind. 
Shrouded was the valley in obscuring mist, 
over which the arches of the distant aque¬ 
duct seemed to hang in mid-air like some 
fantastic cloud-vision. 

Well; 1 said the priest, hurriedly, as 
soon as his friend had joined him.

He himself, the last to retire, stood

Helen's beautiful, motionless figure, m 
crouching heap at her feet. ” Then” \ 
softly closed the passage door. 

Helen and Joy were alone in the room

clasped and kissed her benefactress’ f,. et 
the girl began to moan faintly: 

“I loved him too; ah, I loved him too!" 
Helen’s face contracted; a great spasm of 
horror, of revolt, came over it. The 
canon's voice rose from within in that 
prayer of the agonized believer which, i* 
its fervid insistence, seems almost to com- 
mand the Almighty. 

“Remember not his sins, () Lord, for he 
has hoped in you. Succor his soul, o 
saints of God, meet him, angels of G 0 «l 
receive him. May he rest in peace, may 
he rest in peace!” 

Helen echoed the words aloud: “peace 
peace!” Then, with a cry: “Remember 
not his sins! ... It was his sin." 

She folded her hands over her broken 
heart. “His sin, () merciful God!" she 
was saying within. “Grant me strength 
to atone for him to Thee!” She looked 
down at Joy. “To atone to her. for him.'’ 

Stooping, she raised her, held her. 

“Poor child !" 

And her tears began to stream.

W ell. answered the doctor, driving 
his hands deep into his pockets with his 
familiar gesture. “Oh, she is all right! 
At least, as right as she'll ever be i n this 
world. He looked gloomily across the 
sullou land and ended with a noisy sigh. 

“She was looking very pale, very pale, 
this morning in the chapel,” said the 
canon, seemingly ill satisfied. “Had she 
a headache?” 

I don t think so. She cries so 
much —the doctor's mouth twitched a 
little—“it is hard to tell by her face." 

“Her pulse?” 

“Quite normal.“ 

“Some little tonic?” 

The doctor exploded with that rage of

th c gore heart that no one ever resents. 

“Saperlipopette! Go and prescribe for 
he r yourself! Indeed, my good Canon, 
it’s really within your province. Is not 
this the sort of case when religion is sup¬ 
posed to come in? Where are all these 
famous consolations?” He broke oil as 
if ashamed of his vehemence. “There, 
there, ” he exclaimed, forestalling the sad 
rebuke he saw in the priest’s eyes, “I'll 
not say but she has found help. Ah, poor 
child, true or false, it is all she has! AVho 
would try to rob her of it? Not I . . . 

not I! 

The canon laid his hand on the doctor's 
threadbare sleeve. The wind was blow¬ 
ing very chill about them, fluttering thc 
priest's long white hair, making the doc¬ 
tor’s loose coat flap. Yellow leaves, torn 
from their withered stems, drifted past 
them. With one accord they fell to pac¬ 
ing between the empty flower-beds. 

“When she spoke to me on the chapel 
steps this morning,” said the priest, “I 
confess that her appearance alarmed me. 
She scarcely looked as if she belonged to 
this earth. That was why I begged you to 
find a pretext for looking in upon her.” 

“Nocause for anxiety,” said the doctor, 
impatiently, “so long as you don’t make 
her too good for this earth — for she is 
wanted down here badly,” he added with 
a sigh. 

The canon hesitated, then he said in a 
low voice. “She told me that I might 
write to Monsieur Favereau to come and 
see her.'’ 

The doctor started. “Glad to hear it,” 
he cried emphatically. “Ah, poor fellow, 
how he has suffered !” 

“She never had anger in her heart,” 
pursued the canon; “not even against 
the man” — his voice changed to a quite 
unconscious note of deep resentment — 
“against the man who was the cause of 
her husband's death.” 

He paused. The doctor gnashed his 
teeth. Human nature dies hard, even in 
the saint: there was enough of the old 
“man” left in the canon of Marly to make 
him feel that although he could not, of 
course, approve of the doctor's muttered 
curse, neither could he find it in his heart to 
rebuke him for it. After a few moments 
he pursued, as if he had heard nothing: 


“From the very first day, she made the 
sacrifice of forgiveness — forgiveness toward 
all. As regards Monsieur Favereau, her 
old friend, whom she had relied on for 
help her whole life long, arid who had 
failed her at the test, she never spoke one 
bitter word except that first cry, ‘lie 
knew!’ Ah me! but that was the most 
terrible indictment! Lebel, Lebel, fancy 
what it would have meant to her if he at 
least had had the courage to do right. He 
made me tell him what she had said. 
Shall I ever forget his face as he turned 
away and walked down that road — left this 
place, he thought, never to return?” 

“She could not bear to see him,” com¬ 
mented the doctor. “It is only natural.” 

“It was perhaps the last little touch of 
earthly weakness left in her,” said the 
canon. “She has now surmounted it. 
Every day I see the trouble which is of 
this world fade from her sorrow, and the 
serenity grow which is of the world to 
come. She was faithful to her God in her 
happiness: in her trial He has not aban¬ 
doned her.” 

The doctor wagged his head with a look 
of ineradicable doubt struggling with 
grudged admission. They took a few 
paces in silence, then he exclaimed bit¬ 
terly : 

“Yes, yes. That’s the sort of thing 
that sounds so fine from the pulpit. Canon. 
But allow me to say that the way in which 
the Duchess has been treated by what you 
are pleased to call Providence is hardly 
encouraging for others to place their funds 
in that bank.” 

It might have been remarked by any 
who had known the quarrelsome friends a 
month ago that a change had come over 
their relations. The scathing rebuke that 
at this irreverence would have flashed in 
the canon's eye and issued from his lips 
was now absent. The only emotion vis¬ 
ible on his countenance was one of the 
most affectionate distress. As for the doctor 
himself, no sooner were the words out of 
his mouth than he put out his hand in 
apology and added with quite unwonted 
gentleness: 

“Forgive me, Canon. One must have 
one's growl in this brute of a world, you 
know. Upon my word, I'm not sure that 
you people who manage to keep up a faith

..Hold, sir," said the priest, “and I 
m tQ u y OU . She has been rewarded as 
'he herself would have chosen to be 
rewarded—-by the only reward meet for 
her and one which transcends all earthly 
blessings—the salvation of her husband's 
soul 1 was present at that death. It 
was a moment of immeasurable sorrow, 
vet of unspeakable consolation. I may 
; av that her husband’s repentant spirit 
passed through her hands to his God. No 
despair can ever touch Helen now. There¬ 
fore does she weep like those who have 
hope. Not only that,” continued the 
canon, “but that other soul, that soul that 
was living in death, through him, through 
his fault, she has called it to life again." 

The doctor jerked up his head and stared 
at his friend: his little eyes were very 
fierce, as if in defiance of the tear that was

“Do you really think." he asked, “that 
such a business will work? That they can

little devil's spawn won't break her res¬ 
cuer's heart again when the hour comes? 
It’s clean against nature all round. Canon!"

the canon, with a confident smile. “Any¬

There was a long silence, filled by deep 
thought, to the accompaniment of the 
autumn wind’s sad song. At last the 
doctor shook off the reverie. 

“And the girl?” he asked. 

“The girl!” resumed the other, ear¬ 
nestly. “Oh, I have great hopes! That 
extraordinary power of passion in her 
which was, alas! spent in such an unregu¬ 
lated torrent, seems to have been diverted 
into another course—one that cannot but 
be productive of good, of healing, of re¬ 
habilitation. The Duchess is now the ob¬ 
ject of the poor wayward child's jealous 
devotion. I build greatly on that—greatly. 
Helen will eventually transfer this love, 
as she transferred her husband's, to 
God.” 

The doctor looked skeptical, opened his 
mouth to contradict, marked the canon's 
face, which these last few weeks had so 
altered, so aged, transfigured now as with 
an inner light, and refrained. Why cast 
a doubt upon this faith? What had he, 
after all, so much better to offer instead?

GREAT INVENTIONS SINCE-THE "WORLD'S FAIR. 
By John Bkisbkn Walker 


N ine great inventions have come to 
the front since the Chicago Exposi- 


tion, viz 

.:— 

I. 

The submarine boat. 

II. 

Wireless telegraphy. 

III. 

Telephoning under the sea. 

IV. 

The X-ray. 

V. 

The high-pressure, twenty-mile 


gun. 

VI. 

The small-bore rifle. 

VII. 

The baby incubator. 

VIII. 

The automobile. 

IX. 

Acetylene gas. 


Of these, in the order of military im¬ 
portance, may be named tirst the submarine 
boat. It is true that the submarine vessel 
had its inception long before 1893, a man- 
of-war having been sunk in Charleston 
harbor during the Civil War by a Con¬ 
federate submarine boat, but the defects up 
to 1893 were almost so radical as to pre¬ 
clude its general use. It is the work that 
has been done since that time that has 
brought this marvelous invention to an 
efficiency that may be regarded as com¬ 
plete, even if no further progress were to 
be made. 

But while the general idea is correct and 
the powers of the submarine boat of to-day 
are fully developed if we consider but the 
question of their power to destroy the 
greatest of existing sea armaments, it is the 
history of all invention that every hour of 
experiment and practice will bring per¬ 
fected design and increased excellence. 

The student at the Pan-American who 
views these great expositions as stepping- 
stones of the world's progress, will specu¬ 
late with special interest upon these designs 
for submarine offensive ships. 

Two years ago The Cosmopolitan pub¬ 
lished an imaginary sketch of the French 
government, helpless to compete with Eng¬ 
land in battle-ships, undertaking the con- 
sti action of a powerful fleet of submarine 
boats. In a war unexpectedly declared bv 
the french, their battle-ships were put for¬ 
ward to attack the English Channel Squad¬ 
ron, while in fact they were intended simple 
to cover the advance of a submarine flo¬ 


tilla numbering several hundred boats m 
which the French placed their relianc 
Before the two fleets of battle-ships could 
come to close quarters, the hidden sub- 
marine fleet had silently passed beyond th*,. 
covering vessels, and after rising f„ r 
second to the surface, proceeded to the 
work of attack. But a few moments was 
then required to torpedo and sink the entire 
English Channel Squadron. 

At that time the condition of submarine 
architecture did not justify the prediction 
of a boat having the capacity for extended 
sea-travel; but the new type of vessel was 
even then so well demonstrated as to leave 
no room for doubt in the unprejudiced 
mind regarding the feasibility of construct¬ 
ing these boats in effective numbers and at 
figures insignificant compared with the cost 
of battle-ships. Even at that time it wa* 
believed that the invention of the sub¬ 
marine boat had rendered the most costlr 
battle-ship as vulnerable as the old-fash¬ 
ioned wooden man-of-war wherever the 
concealed vessel could come within reach¬ 
ing distance. 

The policy of investing hum!reds of mill¬ 
ions in battle-ships incapable of great speed, 
vulnerable at so many points, has been an 
incomprehensible one to the lay mind 
taking cognizance of the problems in¬ 
volved. It was understandable only from 
the belief that the wealthiest and most 
powerful manufacturing interests of the 
country were forcing the hand of the Navy 
Department. It also seemed natural that 
many officers of the navy stood commit¬ 
ted by tradition to the large ship, and 
were unable to contemplate without vio¬ 
lent prejudice the substitution of the 
dark, cramped, in every way inconven¬ 
ient and at every moment dangerous sur¬ 
roundings of the submarine boat for 
their handsome and commodious present 
quarters. Taking the psychological a*- 
pect of this matter more comprehensively 
in view—the long months of unavailing 
effort during the Spanish war to secure a 
proper investigation of the merits of the 
Holland boat—how at a critical period w hen

even one such boat might have rendered 
almost as great service as the “Monitor" 
at the beginning of the Civil War, boards 
of officers appointed to report on the “Hol¬ 
land" seemed to put every obstacle in the 
way of a favorable consideration and during 
a period of nearly a year refused to make a 
single personal test under water — how 
finally the test was made after the most 
violent and continued criticism on the part 
of the members; and how, even up to the 
present day, no hearty or generous acknowl¬ 
edgment of the scientific merits of this sub¬ 
marine invention has ever been made on the 
part of any naval board. 

Meantime France, in which no great 
armor, shipbuilding or gun-factory interests 
exercise influence over the government, has 
considered the question on its merits and 
has brought its best scientific minds to bear 
on submarine construction. The results are 
as might easily have been guessed. In fact, 
the practical demonstration goes far beyond 
the prophecies of even the most sanguine. 
They are best told by quoting the following 


cablegram to the New York “World" of 
July 20th:— 

“BATTLE SHIPS TO GO ; SUBMARINES RULE. 

'•REMARKABLE FEAT OF THE GUSTAVE ZEOE' UPSETS 
CALCULATIONS FOR THE FRENCH NAVY. SAILS 
FROM TOULON, ELUDES FLEET AT AJACCIO, 
TORPEDOES BATTLE-SHIP AND ESCAPES 
WITHOUT BEING SEEN. 

“Paris, July 20.—After seeing the sub¬ 
marine boat ‘Gustave Zede’ sail one hundred 
and seventy-five miles from Toulon to the 
harbor of Ajaccio, Corsica, elude the vigi¬ 
lance of the French fleet, torpedo the great 
battle-ship ‘Charles Martel’ and cross the 
Mediterranean to Marseilles (two hundred 
and twenty-five miles), all this time unob¬ 
served, the French Minister of Marine, M. 
de Lannesan, has decided to delay the 
building of several monster war-ships al¬ 
ready voted by the National Congress. 

“All the naval experts here are pro¬ 
foundly impressed by the recent progress 
in submarine vessels and navigating. They 
declare that the huge ships are doomed. 

“M. de Lannesan intends to present to the 
Senate and Chamber as soon as the Con-

gress meets a bill to modify the naval ex¬ 
penditures, providing for constructing, in 
place of large war-ships contemplated, forty 
submarine craft of the ‘Gustave Zede type 
(one hundred and fifty-nine feet long), but 
larger, and eighty purely defensive sub¬ 
marine boats of the Goubet type (No. 1 is 
sixteen and one-half feet long, No. ~ is 
twenty-six and one-quarter feet), which 
cannot operate beyond fifteen miles but 
are so transportable that eight can be loaded 
aboard an ordinary cruiser." 

But a more inconceivable folly than that 
of building battle-ships in the face of such 
results as that attained by the “Gustave 
Zede" has never been recorded in history. 

Officers trained in the use of certain arms 
and means of defense have for centuries 
been slow to acknowledge the superiority 
of more scientific methods. Men fought 
with bows and swords long after the in¬ 
vention of gunpowder. But in those days 
there was no public press to make known 
the advantages of new inventions, and no 
board of scientifically trained officers to 
whom were assigned the duties of impartial 
study. 

The navy of to-day owes it to its training 
at Annapolis to wake up and protest against 
the direction of its schools of construction 
by interests that to the general public seem 
very largely mercantile and selfish. The 
naval board declining to recognize the 
merits of the “Gustave Zede'’ will be the 
laughing-stock of future generations, going 
down into history as either inconceivably 
stupid or instigated by motives of politics. 

This is the point to be kept clearly in 
mind : that the five million dollars expended 
in a single battle-ship would mean one hun¬ 
dred submarine boats—a flotilla powerful 
enough to destroy our entire navy as it 
to-day exists. 

As one rides over the smooth asphalted 
streets of Bulfalo to the Exposition in a 
rapidly moving automobile, it seems incon¬ 
ceivable that in all the vast collection of 
the world’s resources gathered at Chicago 
in 1898, there was not even a single horse¬ 
less carriage, as the term is understood to¬ 
day. Not only that, but the subject of 
automobiles had not then come to be seri¬ 
ously discussed. Eight years have passed, 
and, lo, the horse-drawn vehicle has already 


come to seem like an anachronism, and the 
streets of New York and London and p ar j s 
are filled with a new form of vehicle 
French automobiles have made a run across 
France ami Germany at a rate that rivals the 
fastest railway-trains. Express-matter j s 
moved in self-propelling wagons at a rate 
that is only one-third or one-quarter the 
cost of moving by horses, and small, service¬ 
able wagonettes, carrying but ten passengers 
claim that they can not only move their 
living freight without delay or stop directly 
to the destination, but at a cost lower even 
owing to the absence of vast outlay for plant 
rails, et cetera, than that of the electric 
streetcars. The exhibits of automobiles 
extensive as they are, give but an imperfect 
conception of the strides which this new 
industry is making. 

The phenomena of wireless telegraphy 
telephoning under the sea and the X rav 
are all in the line of what might have been 
reasonably ox pec ted from the progress made 
in electrical development up to 1893. 
The high-pressure twenty-mile gun, which 
puts the greatest cities under tribute from 
vessels that are practically below the hori¬ 
zon. is also in the line of that evolution of 
the gun which Jules Verne predicted more 
than a quarter of a century ago. The 
small-bore rifle, firing its shot with high 
initial velocity, is in the nature of an unex¬ 
pected development. For many years the 
evolution of the army rifle seemed to lx- in 
the direction of large lK>re and heavy metal. 
The efficiency of the small caliber had l*>cn 
suspected by a few military, scientific 
minds prior to the Boer war. But it re¬ 
mained for the South African republicans, 
sparsely gathered behind rocks or con¬ 
cealed in sand-pits on the hillsides, to 
demonstrate the marvelous efficiency of this 
new art. So scattered ms to leave no target 
for artillery and very little for even rifle 
lire, these Boers in their sand-pits, long 
practised in marksmanship, were able to 
pick off the English troops at such great 
distances as to render their artillery almost 
ineffective ami to lead to almost certain 
death the venturesome brigade which 
sought to charge over the exposed territory. 

The first result is observable in the Eng¬ 
lish service. 'The sa!>«*r is relegated lo

utility of the bayonet is brought in ques¬ 
tion. A much more serious military ques¬ 
tion remains to be answered. Naturally 
officers educated in the military schools are 
shy of discussion which would question the 
usefulness of field-artillery. But of what 
use is field-artillery, which can only waste 
large and expensively carried ammunition 
over the field where a man occupies but six 
square feet of ground out of two hundred, 
the chances being that the shot tired will 
find lodgment in one of the one hundred 
and ninety-four square feet of unoccupied 
^waund rather than in the particular square 
feet upon which crouches the Boer rifle¬ 
man? And when movement becomes rapid 
and pursuit must be urged, these guns 


may be truly regarded as impedimenta— 
though to call light artillery “impedi¬ 
menta’' is a military heresy of the worst 
description. 

The question also comes up in connection 
with the small-bore rifle as to whether the 
most powerful military nation of the future 
will not be one which has put in the hands 
of every citizen a gun with ammunition 
enough so that he may learn to shoot fairly 
straight. It is very curious how invention 
is bringing about a leveling of classes. If, 
indeed, the citizen with a rifle and a half- 
dozen strings of ammunition, leaving his 
workshop without prevniuw .mUitarv in¬ 
struction, as did the Boer, can become the 
most virile of soldiers, then the republic of

the future will he safe from violence because 
military superiority will rest with the citizen. 

The baby incubator is one of the marvels 
of science, but as it has elsewhere been 
discussed by a most competent authority, 
Mr. Arthur Brisbane, than whom no one 
can talk more entertainingly of babies and 
incidentally of incubators, nothing more 
need be said here regarding it. 


Acetylene gas is No. 9 on the list, and i s 
of sufficient importance to be separately di$ 
cussed by Lieutenant-Colonel Heap, 0 *f tp,, 
United States Engineer Corps, who, as 
chief of the lighthouse service in the m 0st 
important harbors of the country, has had 
occasion to study the subject thoroughly 
and can speak with such authority as the 
public will be glad to accept. 


THE EXPOSITION <>F 11*11. 


In concluding this number of The Cob- 
mopolitan, which is intended to form a 
permanent record of the magnificent Expo¬ 
sition given by All The Americas at Buffalo 
in the year 1901, it may not be amiss to 
indulge in some brief speculation regarding 
the great international exposition which will 
probably be held in Berlin in 1911—ten 
years later. 

A million scientifically trained minds are 
to-day engaged upon the great problems 
which concern mankind. It follows that 
the world’s intelligence is bounding for¬ 
ward in geometrical progression. It would 
not be surprising, with so many minds en¬ 
gaged upon the work, if the actual prog¬ 
ress toward ideal conditions for humanity 
were to be greater within the next decade 
than it has been during the past five hun¬ 
dred years. 

The preliminary problems of production 
have been pretty well mastered. Unless 
the world is thrown back by bloody wars, 
it is to be doubted whether the most san¬ 
guine mind of to-day can estimate all that 
will come to pass during the next ten brief 
years. 

We may only guess vaguely some of 
the lines along which advance will be 
made. 

Hitherto progress has been largely sci¬ 
entific, mechanical and industrial. The 
next important steps will probably be in 
the direction of governmental and social 
progress. 


A crude prophecy might be tabulated 
somewhat in this form: 

I. Aeroplanes. 

II. The universal introduction of auto- 

mobiles, with disappearance of 
the horse for business purposes. 

III. Scientific methods of thought-trans¬ 

ference. 

IV. Education established upon a scien¬ 

tific basis instead of the present 
relics of other centuries. 

V. Substitution of economic methods 
of heating cities by oil and gas. 

VI. Reconstruction of cities upon lines 

of highest beauty and usefulness. 

VII. Battle-ships superseded by suit 

marine boats. 

VIII. The extension of residence over vast 

suburban areas made practicable 
by new methods of transportation. 

IX. Steamships one thousand feet in 

length. 

X. International federation so ex¬ 

tended as to make war unlikely. 

XI. A general scheme of production upon 

a fully organized scientific basis. 

XII. A scientific system of distribution 

well advanced toward practical 
demonstration. 

XIII. A high recognition of the tights 

of man. 

XIV. The unfolding of a new civic spirit 

among men which will have for 
its highest ambition the better¬ 
ment of fellow-men. 




THE COSMOPOLI TAN. 


A Revolution in Steel-Making. 



MAKING STKKfi CASTINGS KKOM SCRAP 8TEEI.. 


T7VEN “Harnessing the Sun,” as described in 
' a recent magazine, is not more marvelous 
and certainly not nearly so potent in present 
industrial application as is the discovery of a 
process of steel-making which cuts the cost of 
production over one-half. P'or this is preemi¬ 
nently the Steel Age, in distinction to those old 
prehistoric Stone and Bronze Ages, of which the 
scientists tell us, and the Iron Age, which is even 
now disappearing before the triumphal progress 
of its successor. One might almost suppose that 
modern civilization, like the tall buildings, is 
created around a steel frame. As a recent writer 
says, “steel has now come to be the basis of all 
material progress,” and this is no exaggeration 
of a material which is all the time entering so 
many fields of usefulness. Already we depend 
on it for thousands of articles of daily use, rang¬ 
ing from a pressed steel freight car to the 
gossamer-like hair spring of a watch; and the 
l nited States alone produces some fifteen million 


tons a year, worth probably four hundred millions 
of dollars! It does not take much penetration 
to see the possibilities of an industrial process 
which cuts in half the cost of steel production. 

This new marvel yields from steel “scrap” a 
product so strong that it will stand a strain of 
73,000 pounds to the square inch before break¬ 
ing, and so hard that it will take the sharp edge 
of the cold chisel or the hatchet without forg¬ 
ing. And it comes to this state of great in¬ 
dustrial efficiency, not by the expensive process 
that gives to American tool steel a cost of nine 
cents a pound and to Jessup's English bar a cost 
of fourteen cents, but by the direct and simple 
process of melting and casting which reduces 
the cost to three and one-half cents a pound. 

The name given to the product of this new 
process is Jupiter steel. The process is now in 
operation at the large plant of the United States 
Steel Company, at Everett, Mass. A few 
weeks ago the writer saw all sorts of steel scrap,

borings from a gun factory, clippings from boiler 
plate, broken wheels and crank shafts, in fact, 
all kinds of waste and junk—if that can be 
applied to old steel—turned into bright new 
tools in a few hours with only the furnace and 
the mold as intermediaries. Worthless scrap 
made into useful tools by direct casting—that is 
the net result of this process. As one saw tin- 
change actually being wrought, it seemed as if 
an ingenious Yankee had at last been let into 
some of the secrets for which the old alchemists 
sought. How Tubal-cain would raise his thewy 
arm in amazement could he know that the 
ploughshare he hammered into shape could now 
be cast in a mold without tampering or forging 
and all ready for its work, save the sharpening! 

This Jupiter steel is a composition after a 
formula that is covered by 
patents, both in the United 
States and in most foreign 
countries. The process was 
worked out by H. B. Whall, of 
Boston, and A. G. Lundin, a 
Swedish worker in steel. These 
men discovered that by adding 
certain ingredients, at, a fixed 
point in the melting of scrap 
steel, a product resulted 
which had every quality of 
the best steel. It was homo¬ 
geneous; it would weld per¬ 
fectly; it could be made hard 
or soft as desired; it had a 
tensile strength of 73,000 


pounds, Government test: it could be produce,] 
in two hours; it took a fine tool edge. Put to 
one of the severest steel tests in the shape of a 
cold chisel, it repeatedly excelled the quality of all 
other bar steel and without any tempering what 
ever. It seemed to be a product, in short, that 
would have a large part in the future of steel 
making. 

In September. 1891), the United States Steel 
Company was formed to acquire the patents and 
put Jupiter steel on the market. A tract of land 
in Everett, having a frontage of a half-mile on 
the Malden River and stretching back from th* 
river nearly a quarter mile to the Boston and 
Maine Railroad, was bought, and a large modem 
steel plant erected after plans by E. G. Spii, 
bury, of New York, long President of tb-

American Institute of Engineers. The strategic 
Vll [ U e of this location is at once apparent, for 
ti )e thousands of factories in New England are 
lioth mine and market. From them the steel 
scrap comes in abundance, and to them Jupiter 
steel goes back in tools and machinery. Over 
700 manufacturers have become customers of the 
plant. If any part of their machinery breaks, 
the pattern for it is hastened to Everett and a 
steel casting of it soon returns. Not long ago 
in the great Amoskeag Mills, at Manchester. N. II.. 
across head on a large engine broke. Had an 
order gone to Pennsylvania mills to have it re¬ 
placed, three weeks or a month would have been 
required, and time means money and a great deal 
of it in a concern with over 8,000 employees. 
The pattern maker went down to Everett, had a 
change or two made in the pattern, and in a few 
days a new steel casting was back in Manchester 
to replace the broken one. 

This wonderful process is in one sense a 
“secondary” one; it cannot entirely replace tin- 
old method of steel production, for it requires 
old steel as its raw material. But it is in just 
such wavs that some of the most astonishing edi¬ 


fices of modern industrialism have been built up! 
Some man has discovered how to utilize “waste” 
products, and these formerly neglected materials 
have often proved more valuable than the original 
production. Moreover, there is a beautiful sort 
of “endless chain” about it; there is almost an 
unlimited quantity of old steel in the world, and 
it is necessarily added to each year. Converted 
into Jupiter steel, it becomes renewed, reju¬ 
venated. transmuted into new forms, and enters 
upon a fresh career of usefulness. It comes 
perilously near an immortalization, this! Not 
perpetual motion, but to all intents and purposes 
perpetual value and efficiency. 

As showing the wide range of the work being 
done at the great plant in Everett, when the 
writer of this article was there recently, castings 
were being made of gears and other parts for 
the Carnegie Bolling Mills, of driving wheels foi 
Manchester Locomotive Works and for the 
Boston and Maine Railroad Company, of a stern 
bracket weighing five tons for the ocean-going 
steamship Prince Georye, of gun pivots for the

Gentlemen: 

We hereby accept the proposition contained in your letter 
dated May 1st, 1901, to furnish us with steel castings for the Battle¬ 
ships NEW JERSEY and RHODE ISLAND, f.o.b. lighter our dock. The 

castings to conform in every way to the specifications of the U. S. Navy 
Department under the inspection of the Bureaus of Steam Engineering and

being built by the Fore River Ship and Engine 
Company, of Quincy, Mass., which has the con¬ 
tract for building the new battleships New Jersey 
and Rhode Island and of an endless variety of things, 
small and great, for factories throughout the East. 

The facsimile order on this page is for 
over one million pounds of Jupiter steel castings 
for these battleships, which is the very highest 
possible endorsement for Jupiter steel because it 
has to pass the Government inspection. 

Jupiter steel is also being cast into a large line 
of tools and dies, for which a strong demand has 
been created. 

But the specific thing at present which the 
company is chiefly devoting itself to making is 
the Neal-Duplex brake. It is now in daily pas¬ 
senger service on the cars of the Boston Elevated 
Railroad Company, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit 
Company, the Worcester Consolidated Street 
Railway Company, the Lynn and Boston Street 
Railway Company, and the Fitchburg Street Rail¬ 
way Company. This brake requires no power 
except that generated by the axle. Tt will stop 
a car quicker than any other brake and do it 
without perceptible jar or jerk. It weighs less 
than 500 pounds and can be attached to any 
form of truck. All parts of this Neal-Duplex 
brake are made from Jupiter steel castings. As 
the United States Steel Company owns the 
patents on the brake and also the patents on 
Jupiter steel, it is in a position to make the two¬ 
fold profit on both raw material and finished prod¬ 
uct. To make this profit, which awaits only the 
manufacture of the brakes in quantity, the Com 
pany must at once increase its productive capacity. 

The Directors, therefore, have ordered the sale 
of a block of treasury stock at its par value of $5 

advertising 


per share, to provide the working capital for thi 
manufacture of the brakes. In ibis connection it 
should be stated that the Company has paid quar¬ 
terly dividends at the rate of 1 '1 per cent. |«*r 
annum on its stock since December. 1899. With 
the facilities provided for the manufacture of the 
Duplex brakes we confidently expect tolw able in 
increase our dividend rate. The Company's stock 
capitalization is 600,000 shares of a par value of |.1 
per share. Of these 252.671 remain in the treas¬ 
ury to be sold as occasion requires. 

It is interesting to note the significance of 
stock purchases, for they nearly always have 
been, in quantity, in direct ratio to the know! 
edge acquired by the purchaser of the Com¬ 
pany's affairs. An investor who will write about 
the purchase of twenty or thirty shares will buv 
200 or 300 shares after an inspection of the Com¬ 
pany's plant, its patents, and its growing businet- 

At Everett the Company owns 3,200.000 
square feet of land and has both rail and water 
transportation. On this land a modern plant 
200 by 180 feet has been built, with powerful 
electric cranes, furnaces, drying ovens, gas pro¬ 
ducers. boiler and power house with dynanuv 
sand blast, crucible plant, finishing machines, 
office buildings, etc. 

A cordial invitation to inspect the plant at 
Everett is extended to all who are looking for safe 
and legitimate investments. Those who cannot 
do this will have any information desired sent to 
them promptly upon application to the Boston 
office of the United States Steel Company, 149 
Oliver Street, Boston. The United States Steel 
Company, organized in September. 1899. has no 
connection with the United States Steel Corpora

marked their value.

better. The flavor is bet¬

It is absolutely a natural 
product; no “treatment” 
with alkalies or other 
chemicals in order to 
cheapen the process of 
making. No flour, starch, 
ground cocoa shells or 
coloring matter nothing

Fall Suits 


Nobody means to buy poor clothes; 
certainly not; but a lot of ’em get 
worn out every year. Even poor 
stuff looks pretty good at first; and 
just think of the nice things that 
can be said about it. 

Better not go by your own judg¬ 
ment, except as to style. Better 
trust to the H. S. & M. label; not 
so much because our clothes are 
better than usual — they are; but 
because we make them right if they 
go wrong. 

The picture here is a description of 
our Varsity style; shows the suit 
as it is, not merely as it ought to be. 
You see how much more than mere 
price-saving goes with our label; 
style correct, fabrics and tailoring 
perfect. When you get H. S. & M. 
you get satisfaction ; you’ll never 
get more; it’s very easy to get less. 

In some of the magazines this 
month we show our Stratford 
overcoat j worth looking up. 

Our Style Book “O” shows 
them all; sent free. 


This label stands for the things you 
pay your clothes-money for; an insur¬ 
ance policy of satisfaction.

as in others the illumination ques¬

light is either poor, smoky or irreg¬

ought to. At the end of the month 
you find you have spent considerable

Ask the Doctor. He will 
tell you it is a mistake to 
suppose that disinfectants are 
needed only when there's 
smallpox around. To avoid 
danger of contagion Creolin- 
Pearson, the ideal germ de¬ 
stroyer and disinfectant, should 
be used frequently. 


Creoltn-Pearson is not 

poisonous, and is more than 
ten times stronger than any 
other disinfectant. 3,000 
lbs. were used in Galveston 
after the flood of 1900 , and 
20,000 lbs. were ordered 
Chicago Exposition. Leading hospitals every- 
use it. 


For Animals.— Creoiin-Pearson kills lice and fleas, and 
cures mange in horses and dogs : it will also keep flies from 

horses. 

Beware of worthless and poisonous imitations. Look for the 
following statement in left upper corner of label: " My trade¬ 
mark consists of the word Creolin.— William Pearson. " 


At all druggists — 50 cents and $1.00

“ STLobile ” Slcipicl transit 
Stoute through TO a// Street 

RUNNING FROM WALL STREET FERRY AND HANOVER SQUARE THROUGH 
WALL STREET TO RECTOR TO NEW JERSEY CENTRAL FERRY, 
WITH TERMINAL AT PENNSYLVANIA RAILWAY FERRY. 

The “Mobile ” Rapid Transit Wagonettes used on this route are built by 
the “Mobile” Company of America, at Philipse-Manor-on-the-H udson. 

They can be operated at from fifteen to twenty miles per hour or at any 
rate of speed to suit the most crowded street. 

The cost of power for operating is but one-quarter of a cent per passenger 
per mile — cheaper even than the power for the average street-car line. There 
is no outlay for tracks or power-houses. They can be put into any country 
town at a cost of but $1,600 each. 

THREE RAPID TRANSIT “MOBILES” COSTING $4,800 WILL, IN 
SMALL TOWNS, DO THE WORK OF AN ELECTRICAL STREET-CAR PLANT 
WHICH WOULD COST $20,000 TO $50,000. 

To tear up Wall Street and provide a street-car plant to the route now be¬ 
ing covered by the “Mobile ” Rapid Transit Wagonettes would cost from half to 
a million dollars. Three Wagonettes costing but $4,800 will give a service of 
one wagon every five minutes. Twenty Rapid Transit “Mobiles ” costing $32- 
OOO would give a continuous service of a wagon passing each way at intervals 
of less than a minute. 

This has regard to the question of original outlay. When the matter of 
comfort is considered, the results are still more striking. Leaving out of ques¬ 
tion the long months during which the public would be incommoded while the 
streets would be impassable from construction work, at the end of that time 
there would be two street-car tracks practically blocking the entire street, 
endangering life at every turn.

A “MOBILE" RAPID TRANSIT WAGONETTE. 

The smooth-running Rapid Transit “ Mobile ” glides noiselessly through the 
street—no jolt. no jar — endangering no lives, because it is so perfectly under 
control — going in to the curb to take its passengers directly from the sidewalk, and 
leading the street just as free as it was formerly. 

With the fixed charges at so low a rate it is needless to say that the profits of

operating “ Mobile ” Rapid Transit services are large. Requiring only good organ¬ 
ization, a “Mobile ’ stable offers to the man now engaged in livery in the smaller 
cities opportunities for building up a business of the most profitable character. 

Sflobile Siapid Uransit 

and the 

^Problem of the SBrooklyn SBridye. 

To illustrate the carrying capacity of these small, swift-moving Wagonettes, 
the problem of the Brooklyn Bridge, now exciting so much interest, may be con¬ 
sidered. 

The number of people carried to Brooklyn during “rush' hours is stated in 
the daily papers at 23,000 per hour. Even at these figures the question of over- 
taskinq the Bridge with cars and rails is being seriously studied. Yet, with the four 
bridge ways now given up to street-car and cable tracks free for “Mobiles,'' it would 
be possible to move safely and comfortably more than double the number of people 
now handled. Even with this number doubled, the weight on the Bridge would be 
less than at present. 

BUT MORE THAN THIS, THERE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NO JAR AND NO 
VIBRATION. THE PNEUMATIC TIRES, COMBINED WITH THE WAGONETTE 
SPRINGS, WOULD RENDER MOTION ENTIRELY SMOOTH. 

A “ Mobile" containing no less than fourteen passengers could be quickly 
loaded and quickly despatched. 

An experimental trip of four “ Mobile ” Rapid Transit Wagonettes across the 
Bridge was recently made in five minutes. Six minutes would be an entirely prac¬ 
ticable and safe operating time. Assigning thirty feet room way per carriage—more 
than sufficient — the four truck ways, measuring six thousand five hundred feet each, 
would allow for a sufficient number of vehicles to move over fifty thousand people 
per hour one way. 

On the central two thousand feet of the Bridge there would be a weight at one 
time of less than three hundred tons of wagons, at that hour when fifty thousand 
people would be on the Bridge going one way. or a hundred thousand both ways.

THE COSMOPOLITAN. 


Th e “Mobile'’ Company of America has bee n the first either in Europe or 
A merica to produce a practicable Wagonette, solving the problem o f rapid transit. 

A fter long experimental work it has placed on the market a perfect R apid Transit 

C arriage. Every requisite is complete. Entirely safe, noiseless, easier in motion 

t han the finest private carriage, luxuriously upholstered and finished in every detail 

i n the best style known to the carriage-maker’s art, the “Mobile” Ra pid Transit 

Wagonette is offered to the public at sixteen hundred dollars, a price that brings it 

wit hin the reach of every town for street-car purposes, of e very liveryman for tour- 

ing and pleasure parties, of every country house for depot wag ons, and, still more 
im portant, for city use in cross-town lines or de pot and hotel services. 

There are still six thousand horses employed in the street-car service of New 
York City. There is not one of these routes where the “ Mobile” Rapid Transit 
Wagonette could not be substituted—not only saving the tens of millions required to 
convert the horse track into an electric service, and also saving to the companies in 
operating expenses from twenty to thirty per cent., but furnishing a new service, 
which would be up to date in every particular — elegant, speedy, comfortable and 
convenient from every point of view; saving to fife in that it lands its passengers on 
the sidewalk—a service as much ahead of even the electric street-car as that class 
of carriage is beyond the old-fashioned horse-car. 

The “Mobile'' Rapid Transit Wagonette is the most important development 
yet made in the evolution of transportation, and is destined to become immediately 
an important adjunct to the street-car fines of the large cities.

Simmons Watch Chains 
are pre-eminent among gold-filled 
chains. They are made of seamless gold- 
filled wire—the outside of the wire is gold, the 
core is alloy. This alloy core, while lessening the 
cost of the chains, does not affect in any degree their 
appearance, strength, or serviceableness. 

In design, fine workmanship, and perfect finish, Simmons 
Watch Chains equal the best all-gold chains.

77ieSwoboda System 




Restores to Health, Strengthens the Heart 

I am teaching; intelligent men, brain workers, the 
ideal principles of attaining and preserving per¬ 
fect health. It is not a problematical theory, but 
a system of physiological exercise, based 
upon absolutely correct scientific facts. 

And if you will follow my instructions 
for a few weeks I will promise you such 
a superb muscular development and 
such a degree of vigorous health as to 
forever convince you that intelligent 
direction of muscular effort is just as essential to success 
in life as intelligent mental effort. No pupil of mine will 
need to digest his food with pepsin nor assist nature with a 
dose of physic. I will give you an appetite and a strong 
stomach to take care of it; a digestive system that will 
fill your veins with rich blood; a strong heart that will 
regulate circulation and improve assimilation; a pair of 
lungs that will purify your blood; a liver that will work 
as nature designed it should; a set of nerves that will 
keep you up to the standard of physical and mental 
energy. I will increase your nervous force and 

capacity for mental labor, making your daily work a pleasure. You will 
sleep as a man ought to sleep. You will start the day as a mental worker 
must who would get the best of which his brain is capable. I can promise 
you all of this because it is common-sense, rational and just as logical as 
that study improves the intellect. 


A 1,018 I*. SWOBODA, 

Originator and .Sol* Instructor. 


My system is taught by mail only 
and with perfect success, requires no 
apparatus whatever, and but a few 
minutes’ time in your own room just 
before retiring. 

By tills condensed system more exercise 
and benefit can be obtained in ten minutes 
than by any other in two hours, and it is the 
only one which does not overtax the heart. 

It is the only natural, easy and speedy 
method for obtaining perfect health, phys¬ 
ical development and elasticity of mind 
and body. Pupils are both sexes, ranging 
in age from fifteen to eighty-six, and all 
recommend the system. Since no two 
people are in the same physical con¬ 
dition, individual instructions are 
given in each case. 

Write at once, mention¬ 
ing this magazine, for full 
information and convincing 
endorsements from many of 
America’s leading citizens.

CURE OE PELVIC AND NERVOUS DISEASES. 


T IIlv cure of Varicocele, Rupture aud asso¬ 
ciated Pelvic Maladies lias engaged my 
special attention for years, because I have 
understood more fully than do most physicians 
the disastrous possibilities of these diseases. 

Varicocele is in itself a symptom of grave 
nervous disordersand may foreshadow paralysis, 
because it is occasioned by the paralysis of deli¬ 
cate nerve filaments controlling the pelvic circu¬ 
lation. 

The condition frequently exists for years 
without the presence of paralytic symptoms in 
more distressing form, but the possibility of a 
more or less pronounced attack is always present. 

In the sluggish circulation of the paralyzed 
veins of Varicocele minute blood clots form and 
ire subsequently carried into the general circu¬ 
lation. 

The absorption and accumulation of this 
morbid material in nerve matter causes inflam¬ 
mation of the nerves, and ultimately interferes 
with the transmission of nerve force. 

Scarcely a case in the hundreds of paralytics 
I have examined was free from Varicocele. 

Although it is possible, by administering cer¬ 
tain forms of treatment, to dissipate and eradi¬ 
cate the accumulation of morbid material in 
nerve matter so as to restore nerve impulse, it 
is useless to proceed with such treatment until 
the varicose condition has been removed. 

The wisdom of having Varicocele cured in 


its earlier stages is apparent to all who under¬ 
stand the intimate relation existing between 
Varicocele and Nervo-Vital disorders. 

I cure Varicocele in any stage by my special 
method, employing modified natural forces in¬ 
stead of the knife. 

If you desire to take the direct road to perfect 
health, and have no time to spend in making 
experiments, come to Chicago and talk the 
matter over with me ; interview cured patients 
to whom I will gladly refer you, and then act 
upon your own good judgment. 

I formerly cured the disease by the old-time, 
wide-open surgical operation, but my special 
system of cure is as far superior to that method 
as the modern incandescent light is to the 
primitive tallow candle. 

By delicate modifications of my main system 
I cure Rupture with equal success. 

New Rook Just Published. 

I have recently published a very complete book 
on Varicocele and Associated Pelvic Diseases, 
which should be in the hands of every man who 
is afflicted with these maladies. The book is 
not for sale, but is given to those who describe 
their case fully, mention The COSMOPOLITAN, 
and enclose ten cents for postage.

THE PIANOLA — ITS MISSION 


PIANOLA IN USB WITH UPRIGHT PIANO 



HE AMOUNT of practice neces¬ 
sarily required to become a finished, 
artistic pianist is discouraging. 

Before Paderewski could attain 
the high position which he occu¬ 
pies to-day in the musical world, 
and accomplish what now comes to him with 
ease, he was obliged to toil unceasingly day after 
day in practice, fie is said to have spent six to 
eight hours out of every twenty-four at the piano. 
Even assured success is not sufficient incentive 
to tempt many to incur this drudgery. 

Practice gives digital dexterity alone. It 
makes capable and obedient machines of the 
fingers. The artislic and esthetic is a matter 
of taste or temperament. Lacking this tem¬ 
perament, it is impossible to become a great 
musician, although one may learn to play 
acceptably. 

With the soul full of music, a means of ex¬ 
pressing it is still essential. 

The Pianola supplies this means at once. 
The player can give his whole attention to the 
development of the artistic, and thereby culti¬ 
vate a musical taste. 

The Pianola is a substitute for the human 
fingers. The brain remains unfettered and is 
still the controlling influence. 

To make the Pianola’s felt-covered fingers 
strike the right notes no practice is necessary.no 
composition istoodifficult.andthe repertory is un¬ 
limited. Octaves are sounded with ease, and the 


rapid trills with a quickness envied even by the 
musician with the best-trained fingers in the world. 

The Pianola saves labor and it saves time. 
This is its mission. 

It enables those who have not had the time 
to devote to musical training to play the piano. 

It increases the repertory of the most 
efficient. Even Paderewski’s repertory must 
of necessity be limited, and it is a significant 
fact that he has a Pianola both in his Paris and 
his Switzerland residences. 

The Pianola makes accessible the great 
masterpieces of the famous composers and 
enables every one to become familiar with the 
best music. It is therefore a developer of musi¬ 
cal taste unparalleled in the history of music. 

Padere\rski says : “ Every one who wishes to hear 
absolutely faultless, free of any kind of nervousness , piano- 
play ing should buy a Pianola . It is perfection." 

Pianola, $250. 

Aeolians, $75 to $ 750 . 

Aeolian Orchestrelles, 5 1,000 to 52 , 500 . 

The popularity of the Pianola is pronounced It is not 
a matter of opinion. It is a fact , and there must be a 
reason for it. The suggestion that yen send for our liter¬ 
ature that you may better understand what the Pianola 
is anti srluit it will do, is certainly in your o 7 vn interest.

GRAPE-NUTS. 


■J 


Brain workers must have different food than day 
laborers, because brain work uses up parts of the 
brain and nerve centers, while physical labor uses up 
other parts of the body. 

A food for brain workers has been prepared by 
scientific food makers and called Grape-Nuts. It 
is a pure, natural food made from selected parts of 
field grains known to contain the natural phosphate 
of potash and other elements used by the system 
in rebuilding ami repairing the brain and nerve 
centers. This food is skilfully cooked s\t the factory 
and is ready to be served instantly either cold with 
cream, or as a hot breakfast dish with hot milk or 
cream poured over it. All first-class grocers sell 
Grape-Nuts, and the Postum Co., at Battle Creek, 
Mich., manufacture the food.
